Hi,

I am thinking whether you made a typo in your python client which caused
the problem.
In the following function, I guess you want to use "text" (the argument to

the function) instead of "l" on Line 3:

def translate_thread(text):
proxy_n = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(moses_url)
response = proxy_n.translate({'text': l})

print(response['text'])

, as the "l" is from the main thread and it could be any arbitrary sentence.

Hope it helps.

Best wishes!

When trying to feed Moses via XML-RPC with 32 sentences to translate in
parallel, it returns occasional duplicates. Depending on the method to do
the threading in Python, sometimes Moses blocks on and never replies to
XML-RPC requests.

Standalone Python3 script to feed XML-RPC and trigger this bug:

Moses config (pretty straightforward, CBPT enabled [1]).

Script results (32 lines, but note the duplicates):
http://pastebin.com/1E42ngD7

Expected script results (no duplicates):
http://pastebin.com/gRZ1QuGa

(obtained without threading, by waiting for each request as follows)

for l in emea_en[0:32]:
t = threading.Thread(target=translate_thread, args=(l,))
t.start()
t.join()

Ouch. This one was really obvious, thank you.

I'm still wondering why the other attempt of mine is blocking indefinitely...

But indeed, this looks like it has nothing to do with Moses.
