$CondorVersion: 8.9.11 Dec 29 2020 BuildID: Debian-8.9.11-1.2
PackageID: 8.9.11-1.2 Debian-8.9.11-1.2 $
$CondorPlatform: X86_64-Ubuntu_20.04 $

We have a python script, PWIL.py that is run using condor. That in
turn runs another python script, CR.py also using condor. That runs a
C++ program from within its own process (i.e. there is not another
condor submission for the C++ run). I see the error in the PWIL log
along with these errors:

error from htcondor.Submit.queue
Failed to abort transaction.

The program does something like this:

submit = htcondor.Submit(submit_dict)
with schedd.transaction() as txn:
    submit.queue(txn)
completed_job_ads = schedd.query(constraint="JobStatus == 4",
projection=['ClusterId'])
completed_jobs = [completed_job['ClusterId'] for completed_job in
completed_job_ads]
for id in job_ids:
    if id in completed_jobs:
        schedd.act(htcondor.JobAction.Remove, 'clusterid==%d' % id)
