[New-bugs-announce] [issue6613] ctypes.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc does not work on linux 64bit machines

[Tiago Coutinho]

New submission from Tiago Coutinho <coutinhotiago at gmail.com>:

Hello,

It seems that the ctypes.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc is not working in
Linux 64bits machines

I have tried the code in attachment in python 2.5 and 2.6 in both 32bits
and 64bits machines with the following return:

      | linux 32bits | linux 64bits |
------|--------------|--------------|
py2.5 |     1 (OK)   |     0 (ERR)  |
py2.6 |     1 (OK)   |     0 (ERR)  |

I have also tried to make a python extension in C++ exporting a function
to python that simply calls the C++ PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc and this
works fine.
