Hmmm... I tried something pretty close to that (though I have no callback called writeRequestAndFinish() in my example and am not sure what it's supposed to do)... but running the threads.deferToThread() routine still leaves me with the problem that the thread doesn't die. I can't kill the app without going and manually killing it via pid. Is there anything that I can do so that when aSillyBlockingMethod() is finished it just exits? Thanks, -William

The following snippet is the code I use and it works for my needs. Be careful with non-threadsafe code (db api, etc...) though.

========== from twisted.internet import threads

threads.deferToThread(aSillyBlockingMethod, x).addCallback(\ writeRequestAndFinish, request) =========

I am using this in a twisted webserver that is why I am registering the writeRequestAndFinish methode to finish up on the render methode where I returned server.NOT_DONE_YET. But you can register any callback or no callback as well.

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")

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?

Thanks, -William
