This problem also remains me the very complex case of bpo-6721: "Locks in the standard library should be sanitized on fork". The issue title looks simple, but 12 years after the issue was created, it's still open. This issue is being solved by adding atfork callbacks to modules which must do something at fork in the child process (sometimes also in the parent process). I added threading.Lock._at_fork_reinit() private method to simplify the implementation of these callbacks. Such problem has no silver bullet solution, so it's better to let developers design their own solution with their specific requirements. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42969> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
