[Spread-users] Spread python module

[Magnus Heino]

Hi.

I have a multithreaded app written in python that uses spread and the python 
spread module.

Versions this morning were Python2.2, Spread 3.16.1 and SpreadModule1.0

I have now upgraded to Python2.2.1, Spread 3.16.2 and SpreadModule1.1

After the upgrade, multicast locks. Not everytime, but at some places in the 
code. After a revert back to 3.16.1 and SpreadModule 1.0, it works again, so 
its not Python2.2.1 thats causing it. 

Looking at the diff between SpreadModule 1.0 and 1.1, the major difference is 
this;

- Fixed race conditions having to do with disconnects in
  multi-threaded programs.  When one of the errors CONNECTION_CLOSED
  or ILLEGAL_SESSION is received, mark the mbox as closed.  In
  addition, use a lock to serialize access to the disconnected flag.

Is this needed in 3.16.2 too? The SpreadModule is written against 3.16.2rc1
