[New-bugs-announce] [issue25656] multiprocessing.dummy: pool.map hangs on empty list

[Tomer]

New submission from Tomer:

Hi,
In multiprocessing.dummy module I noticed when you send a zero-length iterator to pool.map it hang forever,

Code example:

import urllib2 
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool

def start_multithreading_urlopen(threads_num):

    pool = ThreadPool(threads_num)
    results = pool.map(urllib2.urlopen, [])
    pool.close() 
    pool.join()

    # hang here

    print results

I think it related to Issue6433 that was fixed on multiprocessing module with simple length check
