If i use the "intel hyperthreading technologie", my python application make a coredump with the output: File "C:\PROGRA~2\PYTHON~2\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 472, in after return self.tk.call('after', ms, name) TclError: expected integer but got "9118984callit" The test runs at the following system. Microsoft windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.5 Ghz 522.988 KB RAM. The error never occur, if i turn the hyperthreading in the bios off. I made the self test at 2 other pc with the same hardware and configurations. The result was the same. I made another test with a linux pc, a laptop with xp and a laptop with win2000. All without hyperthreading. The error has not occured. I add the log file and the test as attachment.
Logged In: YES user_id=593130 I believe TclError means that the error came from the embedded Tcl interpreter. If so, and if the Pytyhon call ultimately feeds appropriate data to Tcl, the problem comes not from Python but one of Tcl, Win2000, or the chip, or the relationship between them. If you are running current Python with current Tcl, the best we could do is add a warning to turn off Hyperthreading if strange errors occur, but I am not sure where.
