New submission from Ravikumar: I have started learning python and I see below snippet fails. I do not understand how to fix the issue and assume this might be a bug in multiprocessing library.
I use Python 2.7.12 My python snippet import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET # WORKS import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET # DOES NOT WORK import multiprocessing tree = ET.parse('country_data.xml') root = tree.getroot() manager = multiprocessing.Manager() elems_saved = manager.dict() elems_saved["1"]=root /tmp/Python$ cat country_data.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <data> <country name="Liechtenstein"> <rank>1</rank> <year>2008</year> <gdppc>141100</gdppc> <neighbor name="Austria" direction="E"/> <neighbor name="Switzerland" direction="W"/> </country> </data> /tmp/Python$ OUTPUT /tmp/Python$ python testxml.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "testxml.py", line 10, in <module> elems_saved["1"]=root File "<string>", line 2, in __setitem__ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/managers.py", line 758, in _callmethod conn.send((self._id, methodname, args, kwds)) TypeError: expected string or Unicode object, NoneType found Please let me know if I am wrong ---------- components: Library (Lib), XML messages: 302164 nosy: poojariravi priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: cElementTree behaves differently compared to ElementTree type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31467> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
