[issue7200] multiprocessing deadlock on Mac OS X when queue collected before process terminates

[Ask Solem]

Ask Solem <askh at opera.com> added the comment:

Queue uses multiprocessing.util.Finalize, which uses weakrefs to track when the object is out of scope, so this is actually expected behavior.

IMHO it is not a very good approach, but changing the API to use explicit close methods is a little late at this point, I guess.
