Gregory P. Smith added the comment: agreed, during shutdown the other threads should be stopped. anything to do this complicates acquiring and releasing the GIL by adding another check to see if we're shutting down.
brainstorm: I haven't looked at the existing BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and END_ALLOW_THREADS implementations but would it be possible to modify them on the fly from the thread doing the shutdown (main or not) while it holds the GIL such that all future calls to BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS do not actually release the GIL and END_ALLOW_THREADS always blocks. That should bring other threads to a halt pretty quickly and prevent destructors from releasing the GIL (file.close, etc). __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1856> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
