The first interrupt only stops the main process and you need to send several more to take down the background processes as well... I found a different way (multiprocessing.Pool) to do the same, which ends the processing gracefully on interrupt, but that one behaves even worse under Python 2 (each interrupt only cancels one work item and the processing happily continues...). Since there are plans to support only Python 3 in 3.0+ this may not be an issue, but I could also add a few lines to fallback to sequential execution under Python 2 for the sake of compatibility. Would that be OK or should I not bother? Either way I'd like to send a v2 that uses multiprocessing instead of concurrent.futures, so please don't merge this yet :) FYI, here is a preliminary diff for a switch to multiprocessing.Pool: https://github.com/WOnder93/selinux/commit/a33acec8c298c112f5412b8b61b5b09058a267ee ...and here is what the Python 2 fallback would look like: https://github.com/WOnder93/selinux/commit/b39a12120656b50eb0a1ee01227646ba3cd63f15 > > > --- > > python/sepolicy/sepolicy.py | 14 ++++++++++---- > > 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/python/sepolicy/sepolicy.py b/python/sepolicy/sepolicy.py > > index 1934cd86..02094013 100755 > > --- a/python/sepolicy/sepolicy.py > > +++ b/python/sepolicy/sepolicy.py > > @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ import os > > import sys > > import selinux > > import sepolicy > > +from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor > > from sepolicy import get_os_version, get_conditionals, get_conditionals_format_text > > import argparse > > PROGNAME = "policycoreutils" > > @@ -326,8 +327,13 @@ def gen_gui_args(parser): > > gui.set_defaults(func=gui_run) > > > > > > +def manpage_work(domain, path, root, source_files, web): > > + from sepolicy.manpage import ManPage > > + m = ManPage(domain, path, root, source_files, web) > > + print(m.get_man_page_path()) > > + > > def manpage(args): > > - from sepolicy.manpage import ManPage, HTMLManPages, manpage_domains, manpage_roles, gen_domains > > + from sepolicy.manpage import HTMLManPages, manpage_domains, manpage_roles, gen_domains > > > > path = args.path > > if not args.policy and args.root != "/": > > @@ -340,9 +346,9 @@ def manpage(args): > > else: > > test_domains = args.domain > > > > - for domain in test_domains: > > - m = ManPage(domain, path, args.root, args.source_files, args.web) > > - print(m.get_man_page_path()) > > + with ProcessPoolExecutor() as e: > > + for domain in test_domains: > > + e.submit(manpage_work, domain, path, args.root, args.source_files, args.web) > > > > if args.web: > > HTMLManPages(manpage_roles, manpage_domains, path, args.os) > > > -- Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace at redhat dot com> Software Engineer, Security Technologies Red Hat, Inc.
