Message383695
I get a random TypeError exception thrown whenever I interrupt/kill a sleeping parent thread from a child thread but ONLY if the python script was invoked by a shell script with an & argument to make it run in the background. (this is in vanilla python)
This doesn't happen if invoked
(1) in command line
(2) in command line with &
(3) in shell script (without &)
Only in shell script with &.
Here is the python script named psc.py https://pastebin.com/raw/KZQptCMr
And here is the shell script named ssc.sh https://pastebin.com/raw/QQzs4Tpz that when ran will run the python script and cause the strange behaviour
Here is the output I'm seeing: -------------------
parent looping
child interrupting parent
why would I ever catch a TypeError?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "m.py", line 17, in <module>
time.sleep(1)
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
Here is the output I'm expecting: --------------------
parent looping
child interrupting parent
caught interruption raised from user or child thread :)
Another unexpected behaviour might be that python suddenly hangs.
