[New-bugs-announce] [issue8799] Hang in lib/test/test_threading.py

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <kristjan at ccpgames.com>:

The tests for the ConditionVariable a fragile.  On a slow computer, or when running a DEBUG build, the main thread can issue a condition.notify() call, even though the worker threads have not settled in on a wait() call.  This causes the test to stall.
The provided patch "fixes" this by adding a short _wait() before the notify.
