<div dir="ltr">Robert, what Bogdan says is essentially correct. The OpenSIPS itself is not using any threads AFAIK, therefore python module code is kept as simple as possible. Now back to the original question: we use quite a lot of python code in our routing and some of the python modules that are running are actually creating threads on their own and it appears to be pretty stable. What OS / python version are you using? What could be different in our case is that we link our OpenSIPS binary with pthreads always (which may or may not be the case on your build), so there might be some vital threads runtime infrastructure that is not getting initialized in your case.<div><br></div><div>-Max</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 21, 2017 at 1:25 AM, Bogdan-Andrei Iancu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bogdan@opensips.org" target="_blank">bogdan@opensips.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

    <tt>Hi Robert,<br>
      <br>
      The only question I can answer is 1) - OpenSIPS it is a
      multi-process application (and not using threads). <br>
      <br>
      How the python module is design (from threading perspective), I do
      not know - maybe Maxim, the author of this module can help with
      this.<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>
