file write collision consideration

I have a thread that is off reading things some of which will get written into a file while another UI thread manages input from a user. The reader-thread and the UI-thread will both want to write stuff to the same output file. What first comes to mind is that there may be write collisions, ie

Re: file write collision consideration

Thanks for the suggestions - sounds like a couple good options, I apprecieate it. Ross. MRAB wrote: RGK wrote: I have a thread that is off reading things some of which will get written into a file while another UI thread manages input from a user. The reader-thread and the UI-thread will

Profiling Python Apps on Mac?

I'm writing a python app on a Mac (in Eclipse + PyDev w/ Python2.5 & wxPython under OSX 10.4) As I make program architecture decisions, it would be nice to be able to profile the choices. Should I add that extra thread? Is this big-assed xml object I just created horribly bloated or kind of

Writing to Console on mac OS X

Blanket font setting?

I'm doing an app with the AUI manager capabilities (using some of the wxPython demo's for help). All is well, except I'm a bit disappointed with the font management. The default font for all the widgets (TextCtrl's, StaticText's etc) are a bit large for my design intent and as I try to adjust
