New submission from Jeff DuMonthier <jeffrey.j.dumonth...@nasa.gov>:
The following simple example code creates a started SyncManager and passes it as an argument to a subprocess started with multiprocessing.Process(). It works on Linux and Mac OS but fails on Windows. import multiprocessing as mp def subProcFn(m1): pass if __name__ == "__main__": __spec__ = None m1 = mp.Manager() p1 = mp.Process(target=subProcFn, args=(m1,)) p1.start() p1.join() This is the traceback in Spyder: runfile('D:/ManagerBug.py', wdir='D:') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<ipython-input-1-534b9087bae9>", line 1, in <module> runfile('D:/ManagerBug.py', wdir='D:') File "...\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 705, in runfile execfile(filename, namespace) File "...\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 102, in execfile exec(compile(f.read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace) File "D:/ManagerBug.py", line 22, in <module> p1.start() File "...\anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\process.py", line 105, in start self._popen = self._Popen(self) File "...\anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\context.py", line 223, in _Popen return _default_context.get_context().Process._Popen(process_obj) File "...\anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\context.py", line 322, in _Popen return Popen(process_obj) File "...\anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\popen_spawn_win32.py", line 65, in __init__ reduction.dump(process_obj, to_child) File "...\anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\reduction.py", line 60, in dump ForkingPickler(file, protocol).dump(obj) TypeError: can't pickle weakref objects ---------- components: Windows messages: 313964 nosy: jjdmon, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Cannot pass a SyncManager proxy to a multiprocessing subprocess on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33088> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
