Python multiprocessing Process crashes silently

Question

I\'m using Python 2.7.3. I have parallelised some code using subclassed multiprocessing.Process objects. If there are no errors in the code in my subclassed Process

Answer 1

This is not an answer, just an extended comment. Please run this program an tell us what output (if any) you get:

from multiprocessing import Process, Queue

class Worker(Process):

    def __init__(self, inputQueue, outputQueue):

        super(Worker, self).__init__()

        self.inputQueue = inputQueue
        self.outputQueue = outputQueue

    def run(self):

        for i in iter(self.inputQueue.get, 'STOP'):

            # (code that does stuff)

            1 / 0 # Dumb error

            # (more code that does stuff)

            self.outputQueue.put(result)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    inq, outq = Queue(), Queue()
    inq.put(1)
    inq.put('STOP')
    w = Worker(inq, outq)
    w.start()

I get:

% test.py
Process Worker-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/home/unutbu/pybin/test.py", line 21, in run
    1 / 0 # Dumb error
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

I'm surprised (if) you get nothing.
