Python 3.10 multiprocessing hangs (only sometimes) after poisoning

I've got the following toy script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import multiprocessing as mp


def main():
    queue = mp.Queue()
    stop = mp.Event()
    workers = []
    n = mp.cpu_count()
    print(f"starting {n} processes")
    for i in range(n):
        p = mp.Process(target=work, args=(i, queue, stop))
        workers.append(p)
        p.start()
    print("getting 1000 items from queue")
    for _ in range(1000):
        queue.get()
    print("poisoning processes")
    stop.set()
    print("joining processes")
    for worker in workers:
        # hangs occassionally if terminate not called
        # worker.terminate()
        worker.join()
    print("closing queue")
    queue.close()
    print("returning")


def work(i, queue, stop):
    while not stop.is_set():
        queue.put("something")
    print(f"exiting process {i}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Here is some sample output where it hangs and then I kill it with Ctrl-C:

λ ./mp_template.py

    if lock.acquire(block, timeout):
KeyboardInterrupt

Why does this occasionally hang and other times not? If I add worker.terminate() for each worker, it always exits. However, I thought that if the worker returned (as it does after stop.set() is called) -- why does it hang?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
