[New-bugs-announce] [issue34140] Possible multiprocessing deadlock when placing too many objects in Queue()

[Horace Stoica]

New submission from Horace Stoica <fhstoica at gmail.com>:

I am trying to use the  multiprocessing module for a simulation on a spherical lattice, but the process hangs when the lattice is too large. 

In the file IssuesWithQueueMultiProcessing.py, the method createLattice(), use either "return(I4)" for the small lattice or "return(I5)" for the large lattice. 

Running the script when using the large lattice causes the process to hang while for the small lattice it works fine. I have tested with Python 3.5.2 and 3.6.1 and the behavior is the same in both versions.
