hpack.table RuntimeError: deque mutated during iteration (self.dynamic_entries)
I've seen this bug a few times, but unfortunately don't seem to be able to replicate it. It but appears from time to time in a function that is decorated by backoff 2.2.1 (https://pypi.org/project/backoff/), code below:
RuntimeError: deque mutated during iteration

From the logs, coincidental to this is the recording of a httpx.ReadError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable) by log_backoff (the logger from encountering a backoff condition), but I cannot determine whether this takes place before the hpack Exception or is simply a byproduct of it.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks for opening this issue!
This error RuntimeError: deque mutated during iteration sounds like multiple threads are trying to access hpack-owned resources at the same time. Since hpack itself is not doing any locking of state, it is up to the application to ensure appropriate access. Please take a look at the previous conversation at #275. I still believe this is an issue in httpx, which unfortunately at https://github.com/encode/httpx/discussions/3279 did not get any answer so far.
Oh, sorry! It did sound vaguely familiar, but did not see it in the issues.
Will pursue with httpx. Thanks for the fast response.
