Hi, I would like to do the following as one atomic operation:
1) Append an item to a list 2) Set a Boolean indicator It would be almost like getting and holding the GIL, to prevent a thread swap out between the two operations. - sort of the inverted function than for which the GIL seems to be used, which looks like "let go", get control back via return from blocking I/O, and then "re - acquire" Is this "reversed" usage possible? Is there some way to prevent thread swapping? The question arises in the context of a multi threaded environment where the list is used as a single producer, single consumer queue - I can solve my problem in various ways, of which this is one, and I am curious as to if it is possible to prevent a thread swap from inside the thread. - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
