Memeplex added the comment: I would like to reopen this issue because of the following, very related, behavior. Try this:
``` import multiprocessing as mp import time def g(): time.sleep(100) def f(): mp.Process(target=g).start() 1/0 mp.Process(target=f).start() ``` It won't show the ZeroDivisionError until you keyboard interrupt the g() process or wait for it to end. This is because _exit_function will join every active non-daemon child, which happens before printing and flushing the error. IMO the exception should be shown before joining children, since keeping the error silent is asking for trouble. ---------- nosy: +memeplex _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13812> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
