I'm just getting started on threading and was wondering why the following code does not work (i know globals is bad style - I'll eliminate them eventually). All I get is a blank cursor flashing.
Many thanks Jon import threading import sys import time global g_datum global g_rawfile global g_rawtext global g_overs global g_currentover global g_secondspertick g_secondspertick=5 g_datum=time.time() g_currenttick=1 g_rawfile=open('inputashes.txt','r') g_rawtext=g_rawfile.read() g_overs=g_rawtext.split('<P>') g_currentover=0 class ImapThread(threading.Thread): def run(self): global g_currenttick if time.time() > (g_datum + (g_secondspertick * g_currenttick)): print "Ticked %s" % g_currenttick g_currenttick=g_currenttick+1 print g_currenttick sys.stdout.flush() time.sleep(0.01) def main(): ImapThread().start() while 1: pass if __name__ == "__main__": main() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
