Fix deadlocks in :class:`concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor` when task arguments or results cause pickling or unpickling errors.
This should make sure that calls to the :class:`ProcessPoolExecutor` API always eventually return.
This was possible before. GH-1560 introduced a regression after 3.6.2 got
released where only sequences were accepted now. This commit addresses this
problem.
* bpo-31326: ProcessPoolExecutor waits for the call queue thread
concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.shutdown() now explicitly
closes the call queue. Moreover, shutdown(wait=True) now also join
the call queue thread, to prevent leaking a dangling thread.
* Fix for shutdown() being called twice.
* bpo-27144: concurrent.futures as_complie and map iterators do not keep
reference to returned object
* Some nits. Improve wordings in docstrings and comments, and avoid relying on
sys.getrefcount() in tests.
* bpo-31249: Fix ref cycle in ThreadPoolExecutor
concurrent.futures: WorkItem.run() used by ThreadPoolExecutor now
breaks a reference cycle between an exception object and the WorkItem
object. ThreadPoolExecutor.shutdown() now also clears its threads
set.
* shutdown() now only clears threads if wait is true.
* Revert changes on shutdown()
bpo-29212: Fix the ugly ThreadPoolExecutor thread name.
Fixes the newly introduced ugly default thread name for concurrent.futures
thread.ThreadPoolExecutor threads. They'll now resemble the old <=3.5
threading default Thread-x names by being named ThreadPoolExecutor-y_n.
This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.
Also, add a multiprocessing.connection.wait(rlist, timeout=None) function
for polling multiple objects at once. Patch by sbt.
Complete changelist from sbt's patch:
* Adds a wait(rlist, timeout=None) function for polling multiple
objects at once. On Unix this is just a wrapper for
select(rlist, [], [], timeout=None).
* Removes use of the SentinelReady exception and the sentinels argument
to certain methods. concurrent.futures.process has been changed to
use wait() instead of SentinelReady.
* Fixes bugs concerning PipeConnection.poll() and messages of zero
length.
* Fixes PipeListener.accept() to call ConnectNamedPipe() with
overlapped=True.
* Fixes Queue.empty() and SimpleQueue.empty() so that they are
threadsafe on Windows.
* Now PipeConnection.poll() and wait() will not modify the pipe except
possibly by consuming a zero length message. (Previously poll()
could consume a partial message.)
* All of multiprocesing's pipe related blocking functions/methods are
now interruptible by SIGINT on Windows.
