richardkiss / time_picker.js
Created February 16, 2013 23:55
jQuery extension for a time picker that has a small <select> menu with a small number of times that should handle 90% of cases, plus an "other time" option that allows any time to be entered.
/*global $ */
(function( $ ){
$.fn.time_picker = function( method ) {
if ( methods[method] ) {
return methods[ method ].apply( this, Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments, 1 ));
} else if ( typeof method === 'object' || ! method ) {
return methods.init.apply( this, arguments );
} else {

This is an example of what seems to be a garbage collection bug in Python 3.4.0
that does not exist in Python 3.3.3.
The example uses asyncio to create a producer that multiplexes to N consumers.
On my Mac, with N=100, 38 consumers are incorrectly garbage collected and only execute
once, dropping the surviving consumer count to 62.

When PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG is set to 1, this causes a strange error:
TypeError: send() takes 2 positional arguments but 7 were given
Invoke as follows:
$ PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1 python3 put_get_bug.py
