Hi, New to Python .... I've got 2 threads 1 is the SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, the other polls a site for data. I want to run the program as a windows service. My questions are: Should both of them run as threads and then just have an infinite loop with a sleep in the main thread in order to stop the main program from just terminating? Or should I choose one of the threads to run as the main program and spawn the other off? That was my original intention, but I am concerned that if I use SimpleHTTPRequestHandler in the main thread, will it block any attempt to terminate the service.
Just looking for pointers to the best practice approach. This is where I am at: if __name__=="__main__": import SocketServer import threading import monitor ## Monitor changes on the server (separate thread) monitor = monitor.monitor(fnLog=self.logStatus) monitor.start() ## Service interface port = 8081 server=SocketServer.TCPServer(('',port),ScriptRequestHandler) server.serve_forever() ## To run the web server on a different thread... ## t = threading.Thread(target=server.serve_forever) ## t.setDaemon(True) # don't hang on exit ## t.start() server.socket.close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
