(not waiting, because it already did happen). What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish? I'm sure there is a better approach.
I think I saw at least a bit of the light, reading up on readers and writers (A colleague showed up with a book called "Operating system concepts" that has a chapter on process synchronization).
It looks like I should be writing and reading 3 Queues instead of trying to halt and pause the threads explicitly. That looks a lot easier...
Thanks for pointing out the problem area. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
