microrepl keeps crashing #24

Closed rhubarbdog closed 1 year ago

rhubarbdog commented 1 year ago

from time to time microrepl crashes with the following output

Exception in thread rx:
Traceback (most recent call last):

EXIT - see you soon... :-)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 932, in _bootstrap_inner
Fatal Python error: could not acquire lock for <_io.BufferedWriter name='<stderr>'> at interpreter shutdown, possibly due to daemon threads

is this being caused by me pressing the reset button on the microbit I get the a similar error if i have microrepl running and pull the USB ,lead out

@rhubarbdog the error is basically saying that the thread used for receiving data from the device (Exception in thread rx), can't get access to a resource it needs (stderr). This isn't so much a problem with microrepl, as a problem in Python and how it interacts with the wider operating system.

This doesn't happen for me and so I wonder if there's something unique about your setup, OS, combination of Python version and so on that is causing this.

Closing this since I can't reproduce. Season's greetings (again, again). :santa:
