Hi,
I'm trying out some of the threading examples from the web and am getting some a lockup at the end.
Here's the code I'm playing with, I pulled it straight from the examples:
(source: http://twisted.sourceforge.net/TwistedDocs-1.2.0/howto/threading.html)
#!/usr/bin/env python import time from twisted.internet import reactor
def aSillyBlockingMethod(x): import time time.sleep(2) print x
# run method in thread reactor.callInThread(aSillyBlockingMethod, "2 seconds have passed")
This example doesn't call to reactor.stop(), so it never stops. Put a call to "reactor.callFromThread(reactor.stop)" after the print statement, for example, and it should shutdown cleanly.
Is there something I need to do that will make the thread go away? Are there some more examples of threading in Twisted-Python available?
The only example I can think of is the implementation of twisted.enterprise.adbapi, which presents an asynchronous interface to blocking DB-API modules by running it in threads. -Andrew.
