STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com> added the comment:
Maybe the Python documentation can be enhanced to document functions which are known to have a side-effect "process-wide" vs "thread-safe" functions. For example, signal.pthread_sigmark() affects the current thread, wheras locale.setlocale() is process-wide. See "POSIX Safety Concepts" of the glibc: https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/POSIX-Safety-Concepts.html#POSIX-Safety-Concepts Example with setlocale, "MT-Unsafe": https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Setting-the-Locale.html ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
