I embed multiple interpreters. I create the interpreter and modules in the primary thread of my application:
PyEval_AcquireLock(); thread = Py_NewInterpreter(); PyThreadState_Swap(thread); ...initialize modules, etc.... PyThreadState_Swap(maininterpreter); PyEval_ReleaseLock(); Then I create a C thread called "main" which calls a function called "Main" in the Python interpreter: PyEval_AcquireLock(); PyThreadState_Swap(thread); moduledictionary = PyModule_GetDict(pmodule); PyObject_CallObject(PyDict_GetItemString(moduledictionary, "Main"), NULL); PyThreadState_Swap(maininterpreter); PyEval_ReleaseLock(); The problem is that the function "Main" in the Python script can take up to 60 seconds to execute. How can I terminate this thread (and therefore the Main function in python) cleanly from the primary thread of my application? If I try to call Py_EndInterpreter(thread); then I get a runtime error (presumably because the Main function is still executing). thanks, Andy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
