Richard Oudkerk added the comment: Forking as a side effect of importing a module is evil. I think raising a RuntimeError is preferable to trying to make it Just Work.
But maybe one could do void _PyImport_ReInitLock(void) { if (import_lock != NULL) { import_lock = PyThread_allocate_lock(); PyThread_acquire_lock(import_lock, WAIT_LOCK); } import_lock_thread = PyThread_get_thread_ident(); _PyImport_ReleaseLock(); } ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18122> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
