The result is that every job thread raises an IndexError. Earlier, I tried an approach of correctly locking channels, but that caused run-tests to hang on KeyboardInterrupt sometimes. This approach is strictly hackier, but seems to actually work reliably. diff -r 6bc2299cc12f -r a6833e464b07 tests/run-tests.py --- a/tests/run-tests.py Fri Jan 22 20:32:47 2016 +0000 +++ b/tests/run-tests.py Fri Jan 22 11:00:13 2016 -0800 @@ -1526,13 +1526,16 @@ channels[channel] = "=" + test.name[5:].split(".")[0] try: test(result) - channels[channel] = '' done.put(None) except KeyboardInterrupt: - channels[channel] = '' + pass except: # re-raises done.put(('!', test, 'run-test raised an error, see traceback')) raise + try: + channels[channel] = '' + except IndexError: + pass def stat(): count = 0
