Re: [Zope] Hanging Python Threads

I have a problem where I periodically get a python thread that never dies by itself,

I see this occasionally. Usually, the process is waiting for some network response (which does not come).

... I had found a post (or an archive on the zope.org site) a few weeks ago about a way to debug python threads or to watch a live traceback of threads through some debugging method in order to debug products, but I can't find it again now.

Hopefully, you work under Linux/Unix? Then, they is a HowTo about how to analyse a "spinning Zope". It contains (I think) advice how to use the GDB (GNU debugger) to analyse a Zope process that got out of bounds. -- Dieter
