This sounds like "the lib should not use feature X in Python because it will block everything" And now we're proposing to remove the limitation and you are telling me I am vague and unreasonable. Let me try differently then. Consider this script to be a library I don't control. I need to call the .stop() function when my main application shuts down. I can't use signals because you forbid it in mod_wsgi How do I do, since asking the person to daemonize his thread is not an option ? I see several options: 1 - monkey patch the lib 2 - remove regular threads from Python, or making them always daemonized 3 - add an atexit() option in threads in Python 4 - use signals and drop the usage of mod_wsgi I think 3- is the cleanest. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14073> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
