Using Python 3, are range_iterator objects thread-safe?I have tried this, and it seems to be safe: >>> from threading import Thread >>> x = iter(range(4)) >>> def doit(x): ... print("result =", next(x)) ... >>> threads = [Thread(target=doit, args=(x,)) for i in range(4)] >>> for t in threads: ... t.start() ... result = 0 result = 1 result = 2 result = 3
The GIL ensures it's thread safe. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
