I have a bunch of processes to run and each one needs its own working directory. I'd also like to know when all of the processes are finished.
(1) First thought was threads, until I saw that os.chdir was process-global. (2) Next thought was fork, but I don't know how to signal when each child is finished. (3) Current thought is to break the process from a method into a external script; call the script in separate threads. This is the only way I can see to give each process a separate dir (external process fixes that), and I can find out when each process is finished (thread fixes that). Am I missing something? Is there a better way? I hate to rewrite this method as a script since I've got a lot of object metadata that I'll have to regenerate with each call of the script. thanks for any suggestions, --Tim Arnold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
