i'm getting the wrong output for the 'title' attributes for this data. the queue holds a data structure (item name, position, and list to store results in). each thread takes in an item name and queries a database for various attributes. from the debug statements the item names are being retrieved correctly, but the attributes returned are those of other items in the queue - not its own item. however, the model variable is not a global variable... so i'm not sure what's wrong.
i've declared a bunch of worker threads (100) and a queue into which new requests are inserted, like so: queue = Queue.Queue(0) WORKERS=100 for i in range(WORKERS): thread = SDBThread(queue) thread.setDaemon(True) thread.start() the thread: class SimpleDBThread ( threading.Thread ): def __init__ ( self, queue ): self.__queue = queue threading.Thread.__init__ ( self ) def run ( self ): while 1: item = self.__queue.get() if item!=None: model = domain.get_item(item[0]) logger.debug('sdbthread item:'+item[0]) title = model['title'] scraped = model['scraped'] logger.debug("sdbthread title:"+title) any suggestions? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
