Greg Jednaszewski <jednaszew...@gmail.com> added the comment: I spent some time working on and testing a unit test as well. It's the same basic idea as Zsolt Cserna's, but with a slightly different approach. See 7242_unittest.diff. My unittest fails pre-patch and succeeds post-patch.
However, I still have reservations about the patch. The existing test test_threading.ThreadJoinOnShutdown.test_3_join_in_forked_from_thread hangs with the patch in place. Vanilla 2.6.2 - test passes Vanilla 2.6.4 - test fails Patched 2.6.4 - test hangs Note: the code of the test_threading test is identical in all 3 cases. I'd feel more confident about the patch if this test didn't hang with the patch in place. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16381/7242_unittest.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7242> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
