I've compiled Python 2.7.10 and Vim 7.4 with Python support (HP-UX 11.31 ia64). Everything seems to be working well except for threads. Here's simple example.
from threading import Thread
from time import sleep
def threaded_function(arg):
for i in range(arg):
print i
sleep(1)
def start_thread():
thread = Thread(target = threaded_function, args=(5, ))
thread.start()
if __name__ == '__main__':
start_thread()
Python interpreter executes it perfectly well.
% python thread.py
0
1
2
3
4
But Vim produces an error when I'm trying to source it (enclosed in python << EOF / EOF brackets):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 14, in <module>
File "<string>", line 11, in start_thread
File "/home/users/zemtsoe/local/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 745, in start
_start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ())
thread.error: can't start new thread
AFAIK Python threads are available (despite Vim thread-unsafety). Also I'm unable to use YCM plugin because of this error. What can I do?
