New submission from Kyle Stanley <aeros...@gmail.com>:
Currently, for the recently added coroutine `loop.shutdown_default_executor()`, the executor shutdown can wait indefinitely for the threads to join. Under normal circumstances, waiting on the threads is appropriate, but there should be a timeout duration in the situation that the threads unable to finish joining. The motivation for this was based on the comments from Andrew Svetlov and Yury Selivanov in GH-16284. The original idea from Andrew was to add the timeout duration as a default for a new parameter in `asyncio.run()` and `loop.shutdown_default_executor()`. However, Yury would prefer for this to be defined as a constant instead and not as a parameter for `asyncio.run()` to avoid the creation of an excessive number of parameters to tweak for the user. I will attach a PR that adds the constant and the parameter for `loop.shutdown_default_executor()`, which will passed as an argument to `thread.join()`. ---------- messages: 353115 nosy: aeros167, asvetlov, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add thread timeout for loop.shutdown_default_executor versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38267> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
