New submission from Nic Watson <[email protected]>:
Summary: essentially asyncio.add_signal_handler doesn't work when called off
the main thread. One might consider this a documentation failure.
(Note: there's also a bigger issue with cleanup, which I'll submit separately)
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/nic/.pyenv/versions/3.6.4/lib/python3.6/asyncio/unix_events.py",
line 91, in add_signal_handler
signal.set_wakeup_fd(self._csock.fileno())
ValueError: set_wakeup_fd only works in main thread
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: set_wakeup_fd only works in main thread
Code:
import asyncio

import threading
def mysighandler():
pass
def do_loop():
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
# This will fail with RuntimeError: set_wakeup_fd only works in main thread
loop.add_signal_handler(signal.SIGINT, mysighandler)
loop.close()
t = threading.Thread(target=do_loop)
t.start()
t.join()
