How do I know when all threads are done?

2008-05-21 Thread Zerge
I can launch threads just fine, but then I have to do a time.sleep(n)
so the main thread from which they where launched will wait for all
the threads to return.

How can I detect when all threads are done and then return control to
the main threads?

Thanks for your help

True random number generator

2008-05-24 Thread Zerge
truerandom.py is a Python module that generates true random numbers
obtained from www.random.org.

Use with the form: mylist=truerandom.getnum(min,max,amount)

mylist will be a list containing the true random numbers.

If for some reason the numbers cannot be generated, the list will
contain -1.

You can download it here:

Import OS
ip=192.168.1.1
pingtext="ping "+ip+" -n 1"
pingresult=os.popen(pingtext).readlines()

"OS" gives you access to the command line of the operating system.

Hi,

Is there a theoretical limit to the number of items that can be
appended to a list?
thanks
