Re: how to handle threads with webkit

Hi,

Thank you Christoph.
I still have another question. If we are using commands.getoutput() function
inside the run() function then how do we handle the processes. Because this
senario again hangs the Application Server.

Examples:

from ExamplePage import ExamplePage
from time import *
import commands
from threading import Thread, Event

class MyThread(Thread):

    def __init__(self, interval, id):
        Thread.__init__(self)
        self.interval = interval
        self.id = id
        self.time = None
        self.stop_event = Event()

    def run(self):
        #while not self.stop_event.isSet():

            #self.time = ctime(time())
        result  =  commands.getoutput("pwd")        # if I change this
with result
= "Hello World" the whole program works fine but with this

  command
it again hangs the Application Server. I think it
creates another sub process to run

 commands

            #print "thread", self.id, "done at", self.time
        print result
            #self.stop_event.wait(self.interval)

    def stop(self):
        print "thread", self.id, "shutdown"
        self.stop_event.set()
        self.join(1)

my_thread = []


for i in range(2):
        my_thread.append(MyThread(2, i))


from WebKit.AppServer import globalAppServer

for k in my_thread:
        globalAppServer.application().addShutDownHandler(k.stop)
for j in my_thread:
        j.start()
for k in my_thread:
        k.join()
for j in my_thread:
        j.stop()
class ShowTime(ExamplePage):

    def writeContent(self):
        self.write('<h1>Thread Test</h1>')
        for k in my_thread:
                self.write('<h2>Thread Number 'k' is executing </h2>')

Thanks in Advance.

Best Regards.....
Salman Toor.
