Threading Pool Event()

[Graeme Matthew]

Aahz

Thanks, ive actually been using your OSCON slides which have helped a lot.
So it technically correct that all worker threads in a thread pool are
either doing some work  or polling the queue to find out if there is a job
to process ?

eg: (pseudocodish :-))

def run(self):

    while 1:

        self.lock.acquire()

        if QueueManager.HasJob:
            job = QueueManager.GetFreeJob()
            __processJob(job)

        self.lock.release()

 def __processJob(self):

        blah blah blah .....


many thanks ......
