Initially I blocked the main using raw_input('') and it was working fine.
u = Downloader()
signal.signal( signal.SIGINT , u.handleexception)
thread.start_new_thread ( u.createurl , () )
for i in xrange ( 5 ) :
thread.start_new_thread ( u.downloadurl , () )
#This is for blocking main
raw_input('')
When I pressed ctrl-c then it's responding fine but now after switching to
threading module, I am not able to kill my program using SIGINT ( ctrl-c ). Any
idea how to signal SIGINT to threads ?
Try making them daemon threads. A daemon thread is one that will be
killed when the main thread terminates.
Now the changed code and I have to catch the SIGINT.
u = Downloader()
signal.signal( signal.SIGINT , u.handleexception)
urlcreator = threading.Thread ( target = u.createurl )
workers = []
for i in xrange ( 5 ):
workers.append ( threading.Thread( target = u.downloadurl ) )
urlcreator.daemon = True
urlcreator.start()
for w in workers:
urlcreator.daemon = True
w.daemon = True
w.start()
urlcreator.join()
for w in workers:
w.join()
