OK, I write to the pipe in the main thread, and I created a new thread for reading from the pipe, then it will print what it received from the pipe(). But, it seems it block at the "self.testfd.read()". So, is there and suggestion and explaination about it?
file.read() reads the entire contents of the file. Your code never closes the write end of the pipe, so the read can never succeed - there is always more for it to read. Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
