My question is: Is this a solid approach? Am I forgetting something?
I can see a few of problems: * If more than one thread calls get_data() during the initial cache filling, it looks like only one of them will wait for the thread -- the others will skip waiting altogether and immediately return None. * Also if the first call to get_data() times out it will return None (although maybe that's acceptable if the caller is expecting it). * The caller of get_data() is getting an object that could be changed under it by a future update. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
