ProcessPoolExecutor, BrokenProcessPool Handling

In this documentation ( https://pymotw.com/3/concurrent.futures/ ) it says: 'The ProcessPoolExecutor works in the same way as ThreadPoolExecutor, but uses processes instead of thre

Solution 1:

I hadn't see it IRL, but from the code it looks like the returned file descriptors not contains the results_queue file descriptor.

from concurrent.futures.process:

    reader = result_queue._reader

    while True:
        _add_call_item_to_queue(pending_work_items,
                                work_ids_queue,
                                call_queue)

        sentinels = [p.sentinel for p in processes.values()]
        assert sentinels
        ready = wait([reader] + sentinels)
        if reader in ready:  # <===================================== THIS
            result_item = reader.recv()
        else:
            # Mark the process pool broken so that submits fail right now.
            executor = executor_reference()
            if executor is not None:
                executor._broken = True
                executor._shutdown_thread = True
                executor = None
            # All futures in flight must be marked failed
            for work_id, work_item in pending_work_items.items():
                work_item.future.set_exception(
                    BrokenProcessPool(
                        "A process in the process pool was "
                        "terminated abruptly while the future was "
                        "running or pending."
                    ))
                # Delete references to object. See issue16284
                del work_item

the wait function depends on system, but assuming linux OS (at multiprocessing.connection, removed all timeout related code):

    def wait(object_list, timeout=None):
        '''
        Wait till an object in object_list is ready/readable.

        Returns list of those objects in object_list which are ready/readable.
        '''
        with _WaitSelector() as selector:
            for obj in object_list:
                selector.register(obj, selectors.EVENT_READ)

            while True:
                ready = selector.select(timeout)
                if ready:
                    return [key.fileobj for (key, events) in ready]
                else:
                    # some timeout code
