Hi Guys,
We have a problem that seems to be related to a combination of multi-threaded
code, the use of the python standard library and some obsoleted functions in
one of our libraries. We have a C# library, call it DeprecatedLib, which has
some function marked as [Obsolete] (this should result in warnings at runtime).
We have a threaded section of code (running in IronPython) which can result in
half a dozen of these method calls happening at the same time. We have the
python standard libraries available to our IronPython interpreter. What seems
to happen is that IronPython hits the Obsolete attribute, decides it needs to
warn, imports warnings.py from the standard library (on 2 threads at the same
time) and then it fails with a MissingMemberException of "'module' object has
no attribute XXX" where XXX is either '_getframe' or 'warn'. I'm using
IronPython 2.6.1 (.net 2 version) for my testing. It fails about 90% of the
time in my test app (and much closer to 100% in our real app).
The section of IronPython where it imports warnings.py has a fallback method
for doing the warning which it uses if it can't find a 'warnings' module. This
appears to work fine. It only fails when the standard library is available and
it tries to use the CPython warnings.py.
What I'm trying to work out is: is this a problem with IronPython or something
with the standard warnings.py? I can 'fix' the error just by removing
warnings.py from our standard library, but I'm a bit nervous that this might
result in me hitting a similar problem in the future when something else
triggers parallel imports (I thought this supposed to work in 2.6.1?).
I'd appreciate any guidance on this.
Regards,
Leighton Haynes...
Details of my test:
My sample python file (tester.py):
import System
import clr
clr.AddReference("DeprecatedLib")
import DeprecatedLib
class Tester():
def __init__(self):
pass
def go(self):
for i in range(0,100):
System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(self.doError, None)
def doError(self, object):
d = DeprecatedLib.Deprecated()
d.DoSomething()
t = Tester()
t.go()
DeprecatedLib is a simple C# dll with a single class:
using System;
namespace DeprecatedLib
{
public class Deprecated
{
[Obsolete]
public void DoSomething()
{
}
}
}
I'm running it using the ipy.exe command line:
IronPython 2.6.1 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.4952
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tester
>>> warning: DeprecationWarning: Deprecated.DoSomething has been obsoleted.

<crash>

If anyone's especially keen, I can provide this as a zip file.
