One of the buildbots recently showed the following failure:

EOFError: EOF read where not expected
(http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86%20Gentoo%203.x/builds/942/steps/test/logs/stdio)
"EOF read where not expected" comes from reading a pyc file in marshal.c. It is raised when the pyc file is somehow truncated or incomplete. Writing and reading the same pyc file is protected by the import lock when in a single interpreter, but not when running several Python processes at the same time (which test_multiprocessing obviously does).
Under POSIX, import.c could do the traditional write-then-rename dance which guarantees that the file contents appear atomically.
And so could importlib. |
