Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import inside the function. As a result, due to Python's import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows (directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile) hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module. This is a depressingly frequent problem, and deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows, and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin with (ntpath needs a different implementation depending on whether we're actually running on Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_ the function). Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py is a convenient place to add tests for them. |
