[New-bugs-announce] [issue15914] multiprocessing.SyncManager connection hang

[Sean B. Palmer]

New submission from Sean B. Palmer:

create.py:

import multiprocessing
manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
namespace = manager.Namespace()
print("create.py complete")

run.py:

import create
print("run.py complete")

Correct behaviour occurs for create.py:

$ python3 create.py
create.py complete

INCORRECT behaviour occurs for run.py:

$ python3 run.py

No output, because it hangs. On SIGINT:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "run.py", line 1, in <module>
    import create
  File "[...]/create.py", line 7, in <module>

KeyboardInterrupt

$ python3
Python 3.2.3 (v3.2.3:3d0686d90f55, Apr 10 2012, 11:25:50) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

This appears to be a duplicate of this *closed* bug:

http://bugs.python.org/issue7474

This was closed because nobody could reproduce the behaviour on Python 3. I have reproduced it, but I don't know how to reopen that bug, so I'm filing this one. The test case in 7474 also fails for me.
