It's documented in http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing-programming : """ Joining processes that use queues Bear in mind that a process that has put items in a queue will wait before terminating until all the buffered items are fed by the “feeder” thread to the underlying pipe. (The child process can call the Queue.cancel_join_thread() method of the queue to avoid this behaviour.) This means that whenever you use a queue you need to make sure that all items which have been put on the queue will eventually be removed before the process is joined. Otherwise you cannot be sure that processes which have put items on the queue will terminate. Remember also that non-daemonic processes will be automatically be joined. """ Suggesting to close.
