That's what I thought... > Bad news: the script doesn't hang if Python is build without threads. Makes sense. When linked with pthread, all I/O syscalls are actually non-blocking. > read() is interrupted after 1 second, it works. Hmmm... Does it still work if you don't a create thread beforehand? Also, one difference is that Python uses sigaction to setup the signal handler. There might be subtle semantics change/bugs between signal/sigaction. > Oh, siginterrupt(SIGALRM, 0) doesn't work in a program linked to > pthread. You could try with sigaction/SA_RESTART. But OpenBSD's pthread implementation has severe limitations/bugs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12905> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
