Hi,
in a python C module i may need to create a Thread to do some background
observations / calculations.
Are there any problems with Python doing something like this?
Is there some special support on sharing data?
I guess i can't call any Python functions from the thread, correct?
Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
Python has lots of support for threads. Look at the *thread* and
*threading* modules for (respectively) low and high level access to
threads, and look at the *queue *module for passing data safely between
threads. While there are many issues and potential traps when thread
programming. you *can* call any function from any thread at any time
with any data-- threads would be a waste if that were not so.
For an alternative to thread programming, you may be able to use the
functionality of the *asynchat* and *asyncore* modules.
