Bryce Allen <o...@bda.ath.cx> added the comment: I encountered this issue when trying to exit cleanly on SIGTERM, which I use to terminate background daemons running serve_forever.
In BaseServer, a threading.Event is used in shutdown, so it can block until server_forever is finished (after checking __serving). Since the SIGTERM interrupts the select system call, the event set is never reached, and shutdown hangs waiting on the event. I've attached an example of the pattern I was trying to use in my server. There are several ways around the issue, but looking at the API it seems like this _should_ work, and in my experience all servers have clean-up code so it's a very common case. ---------- nosy: +bda Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17120/sockServe.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7978> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
