I would like to set up a server that takes XMLRPC requests and
processes them asynchronously. The XMLRPC server part is trivial in
python. The job processing part is the part that I am having trouble
with. I have been looking at how to use threadpool, but I can't see
how to get that working. I would like to have the XMLRPC part of
things do something like:
def method1(a,b,c):
jobid=workRequest(long_method1,[a,b,c])
return(jobid)
def method2(a,b,c):
jobid=workRequest(long_method2,[a,b,c])
return(jobid)
def long_method1(a,b,c)
do lots of heavy computation, etc.
store results in files in a given directory, etc
return result
.... for any number of methods
Again, pretty straightforward. However, I run into problems with the
threadpool and xmlrpc server both waiting. In particular, if I do
something like:
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(.....)
server.serve_forever()
Where can tell the threadpool that I have set up to wait
indefinitely? Both are blocking.
Thanks,
Sean
