致命的 Python 错误：在解释器关闭时无法获取 <_io.BufferedReader name=8> 的锁定，可能是由于守护线程

Question

Running the following:

import imageio

class vidrdf:
    def __init__(self, vidfile):
        self.vid = imageio.get_reader(vidfile,  'ffmpeg')

vidfile = 'movie.mov'
rdfobj = vidrdf(vidfile)

I get:

Fatal Python error: could not acquire lock for <_io.BufferedReader name=8> at interpreter shutdown, possibly due to daemon threads

It doesn't happen if I try:

import imageio

class vidrdf:
    def __init__(self, vidfile):
        self.vid = imageio.get_reader(vidfile,  'ffmpeg')

vidfile = 'movie.mov'
vidrdf(vidfile)

or

import imageio

class vidrdf:
    def __init__(self, vidfile):
        vid = imageio.get_reader(vidfile,  'ffmpeg')

vidfile = 'movie.mov'
rdfobj = vidrdf(vidfile)

So this is clearly an issue with copying the object. I've searched about daemon threads, but since I'm using imageio directly I can't figure out why and how to resolve it. I would appreciate any recommendations.

Answer 1

The following seems to work, although I don't know why:

import imageio
import copy

class vidrdf:
    def __init__(self, vidfile):
        vid = imageio.get_reader(vidfile,  'ffmpeg')
        self.vid = copy.copy(vid)


vidfile = 'movie.mov'
rdfobj = vidrdf(vidfile)
