[issue9400] multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult.get() messes up exceptions

[Nikolaus Rath]

New submission from Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus at rath.org>:

The attached test program calls apply_async with a function that will raise CalledProcessError. However, when result.get() is called, it raises a TypeError and the program hangs:

$ ./bug.py
ERROR:root:ops
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bug.py", line 19, in run_with
    dW1 = run_dcon()
  File "./bug.py", line 26, in run_dcon
    subprocess.check_call(['dcon'], stdout=fh, stderr=fh)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 498, in check_call
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
