[jira] Resolved: (MODPYTHON-195) Possible leaking of Win32 event handles when Apache restarted.

["Graham Dumpleton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-195?page=all ]

Graham Dumpleton resolved MODPYTHON-195.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Haven't been able to validate this first hand, but have accepted the following change in python_init() to stop Win32 parent process performing global mutex and Python initialisation.

#ifdef WIN32
    /* No need to run python_init() in Win32 parent processes as
     * the lack of fork on Win32 means we get no benefit as far as
     * inheriting a preinitialized Python interpreter. Further,
     * upon a restart on Win32 platform the python_init() function
     * will be called again in the parent process but without some
     * resources allocated by the previous call having being
     * released properly, resulting in memory and Win32 resource
     * leaks.
     */
    if (!getenv("AP_PARENT_PID"))
        return OK;
#endif /* WIN32 */

> indicates a belief that when an Apache restart is performed on Windows that there are a number of Win32 event handles leaked. His belief is that this seems to be linked to mod_python.
