Hi python geeks, I have problem which i have been trying to find out for the past some days, i have a device which feeds info to my fifo continuosly, and a thread of mine reads the fifo continuosly. Now when i change a parameter in the device, it sends me different values. Now my problem is that , i want to get rid of the contents of my previous info which is present in my buffer of the fifo.So i want to flush the fifo content when my device starts sending different info .... i am implementing writing and reading the fifo using two different threads. Please someone guide me solving my problem. I highly apologise everyone in case my post is not so clear... Thanks everyone in advance.
When the info changes, the thread which is putting items into the fifo could flush it just by getting items from it (using a non-blocking get) until it's empty. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
