Exception ignored when trying to write to the signal wakeup fd: BlockingIOError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

[josch]

This happens with alot 0.8 on Debian unstable and is a regression over alot 0.7 where this issue did not happen. When I'm performing a search with many results (I was unable to pinpoint a pattern) then I'm getting spawned with several thousand (yes, thousand) lines of the following in my terminal:

Yes, this output scrolls through my normal terminal and is only later replaced by the normal urwid search result. So this is actually not any functional regression just a cosmetic one. I also cannot see anything weird going on in the debug log. The messages also don't show up in the debug log. I don't know where they are coming from.

The most general way to find out where they are coming from is to search for any common pattern. Does it happen with

• different terminal emulators?
• different python versions?
• a git checkout of alot?
• a minimal alot config?
• an empty mail store?

This Started happening to me lately. The weird thing is it happens always on the 10th epoch i'm running. All the other epochs are fine so i see no reason for it to start so late in the process. Did anyone figured it out? I'm working on google colab using PyTorch.

Sorry but what does epoch in this context? What do colab or pytorch have to do with this issue?

[Liortabori]

Thats not clear to me. i run a model in Pytorch and got this error (always on the 10th epoch). Don't know why that happens but thought maybe someone else would know so i shared that information. Anyway i got around this by changing a few things in my model.

I am facing same issue while training DCGAN using Colab and PyTorch.

[pazz]

can someone please explain what a web collaboration platform that's running a ML lib for python had to do with the original post?

Perhaps you've got here by googling the stacktraces? If so, let me remind you that this project is a command line mail client that is not intended to run on some web based service..

Did anyone solve this?

I haven't had this problem for a while now. But I also upgraded to alot 0.9. Is anybody still having this problem with alot 0.9?
