- Subject: python 2.3.4-1 on cygwin 1.5.11-1 exits when Thread exits
- Bcc:
Whenever any of my python threads exits, python exits, too (regardless of
the main thread, for example). See below for details. How can I fix this?
Transcript of a python session on cygwin 1.5.11-1:
% python2.3
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jun 13 2004, 11:21:03)
[GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from threading import Thread
t = Thread()
t.start()
%
i.e. when thread t exited, so did python.
Doing the same thing on Linux, python does not exit:
% uname -srm
Linux 2.6.6-1-386 i686
% python2.3
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul 5 2004, 09:15:05)
[GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from threading import Thread
t = Thread()
t.start()
print "foo"
foo
