[Jython-users] sleep() terminates thread?

[John M. <joh...@ya...>]

I added a simple call to sleep(2) in the run() mathod of some threads. 
The threads now terminate (w/o exception) when the sleep() is reached. 
It's not a critical problem for me.  I was just using the sleep()
during debugging.


I get the problem when using either Jython 2.0 or 2.1.a1.


Here are the only references to sleep() in my program.  So I don't
think I've redefined it.

$  grep sleep conv.py
from time    import time, localtime, sleep
	sleep(2)
$



I tried a small test program (attached) but it works as it should.  So
it's something to do with my application.

I tried "import time" and calling time.sleep(2) instead of sleep(2) but
that didn't help.

I tried printing the value of `sleep` before calling it.  I got the
same sort of output from both my application that has the problem and
and test program that runs okay.  Here's an example:

     sleep=<java function sleep at 1203696510>

Any suggestions?
