I have a number of threads that write to a database. I have created a thread lock, but my question is this:
- If one thread hits a lock, do a) all the other threads stop, or b) just the ones that come to the same lock? - I presume that the answer is b. In which case do the threads stop only if they come to the same instance of a lock. For example, you could have a lock instance for one database and another instance for another database (first_db_thread_lock = threading.RLock() .... second_db_thread_lock = threading.RLock()). I appreciate this is a bit of a noob question, but I didn't want to assume anything. ALJ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
