[New-bugs-announce] [issue34367] AsyncResult.get() only notifies one thread

[Alexander Tsvetkov]

New submission from Alexander Tsvetkov <xflower at gmail.com>:

If more than one thread is waiting for the multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult (aka ApplyResult) returned from apply_async, only one thread will be notified once the result arrives.

It happens because AsyncResult._set calls notify upon the result arrival, not notify_all.

threading.Event used in Python 3 uses notify_all.

Reproduction script is attached.
Expected outcome:
1
1
is printed to STDOUT.

Observed outcome:
The script hangs.
