Hi, I think I've found a bug in Python/C API and multithreading.
I'm currently creating an intrusion detection system based on mobile agents. I have an AgentPlatform (C/C++) and 2 agents on it (2 Python scripts: Snort and Anomaly) These 2 agents are each running its own Python interpreter (both by Py_Run*** stuff). Of course I do have Threading on (I mean there is: PyGILStateEnsure stuff as well). I also have an interface that is used by both agents (Python scripts) to access my Agent Platform (C/C++ program). That interface have one method: AgentPlatform.getPacket() - when I call it in Python - appropriate method AgentPlatform.getPacket() is called in C/C++ AgentPlatform. Between these two moments somthing bad happens. This happens when Snort calls Python's AgentPlatform.getPacket() and just before C/C++'s AgentPlatform.getPacket() is called - another agent - Anomaly Agent calls its Python's AgentPlatform.getPacket(). In this particular moment everything hangs:((((((((((((( Let me show it on an image: http://www.mobiltek.pl/~mrbpl/tmp/PythonBug.JPG Is there any simple way to fix this damned bug?? best regards -- Krzysztof Włodarczyk Centrum Technologii Mobilnych Mobiltek S.A. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile: 502-525-035 This email is confidential and is intended for receipt solely by the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
