Public bug reported: Resolved Upstream Issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue14308
Based on my experimentation with the test script included in that ticket the threads throw the exceptions when the context switch back to the thread happens, not on cleanup of the thread (throw a print and sys.stdout.flush() on either side of the sleep to demonstrate this), which means this could have a drastic effect on programs which use both threads and os.fork() (through, say, subprocess.Popen). ** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077153 Title: Backport request: http://bugs.python.org/issue14308 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1077153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
