DEADLOCK_WRAP error when using Berkeley Db in python (bsddb)
- by JiminyCricket
I am using a berkdb to store a huge list of key-value pairs but for some reason when i try to access some of the data later i get this error:
try:
key = 'scrape011201-590652'
contenttext = contentdict[key]
except:
print the error
<type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 'scrape011201-590652' in
contenttext = contentdict[key]\n', ' File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/bsddb/__init__.py",
line 223, in __getitem__\n return _DeadlockWrap(lambda: self.db[key]) #
self.db[key]\n', 'File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/bsddb/dbutils.py", line 62, in
DeadlockWrap\n return function(*_args, **_kwargs)\n', ' File
"/usr/lib64/python2.5/bsddb/__init__.py", line 223, in <lambda>\n return
_DeadlockWrap(lambda: self.db[key]) # self.db[key]\n']
I am not sure what DeadlockWrap is but there isnt any other program or process accessing the berkdb or writing to it (as far as i know,) so not sure how we could get a deadlock, if its referring to that. Is it possible that I am trying to access the data to rapidly? I have this function call in a loop, so something like
for i in hugelist:
#try to get a value from the berkdb
#do something with it
I am running this with multiple datasets and this error only occurs with one of them, the largest one, not the others.
