I'm writing a simple script that:
- Loads a big list of URLs
- Get the content of each URL making concurrent HTTP requests using requests' async module
- Parses the content of the page with lxml in order to check if a link is in the page
- If the link is present on the page, saves some info about the page in a ZODB database
When I test the script with 4 or 5 URLs It works well, I only have the following message when the script ends:
Exception KeyError: KeyError(45989520,) in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.pyc'> ignored
But when I try to check about 24000 URLs it fails toward the end of the list (when there are about 400 URLs left to check) with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "check.py", line 95, in <module>
File "/home/alex/code/.virtualenvs/linka/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/async.py", line 83, in map

ImportError: No module named queue
Exception KeyError: KeyError(45989520,) in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.pyc'> ignored
I tried both with the version of gevent available on pypi and downloading and installing the latest version (1.0b2) from gevent repository.
I cannot understand why this happened, and why it happened only when I check a bunch of URLs. Any suggestions?
Here is the entire script:
