[New-bugs-announce] [issue11142] xmlrpclib.ServerProxy with verbosity produces bad output

[Erez Sh]

New submission from Erez Sh <erez27 at gmail.com>:

In xmlrpclib, a ServerProxy initialized with verbose=True produces an occasionally jumbled-up output, due to a multiple threads writing to stdout without synchronizing.

I noticed this happening only for incoming data (at line 1461:                 print "body:", repr(data) ).

I seem to have fixed it locally by accumulating all the data and printing it (within a lock) outside of the send/recv loop.

It is a useful feature for debugging and logging the 'raw' communication, but virtually useless if one can't rely on its output.
