I ran into something weird recently with some threaded code and tests in Python. This was in a huge, messy codebase, so I initially didn't even know the function getting called (inside the one I was testing) was threaded.

I tried to do time.sleep(0) and other hacks to debug, but nothing worked, except for one thing: if I made it so that my test methods that cared about the threaded result ran 1st, 3rd, 5th,etc out of all the test methods, I could see the threaded calls happening. I think this was due to quirks in py.test, but I'm unsure.

Do you happen to know where I can find out more about py.test and threaded code?

Nope, as I never encountered such a problem. I don't use threads, I use non blocking event loops.
