New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#c.Py_EndInterpreter states that "Py_FinalizeEx() will destroy all sub-interpreters that haven’t been explicitly destroyed at that point."
As discussed in https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/2237, Python 3.7+ doesn't currently do that - it calls Py_FatalError instead. That change came from https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1728, which was based on my initial PEP 432 refactoring work, and I didn't realise that implicitly cleaning up lingering subinterpreters was a documented behaviour. So I think we should just fix it to behave as documented, and add a new regression test to make sure it doesn't get broken again in the future. ---------- keywords: 3.7regression messages: 337392 nosy: eric.snow, ncoghlan, petr.viktorin priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Lingering subinterpreters should be implicitly cleared on shutdown type: crash versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36225> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
