Hi, I'm coming in from a despised Java background, and I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around sharing an object between multiple instances of a single class (in simpler terms, I would say imagine a simple chat server that has to share a list of connected users to each instance of a connected user).
Usually, I would have a synchronized list instantiated inside each instance of a client class, which would do the trick, but since there's no synchronization in Python, I'm stuck staring at little tests involving a standalone non-threaded class instance that holds the list of users, and each connected user being passed this instance to be "synchronized". Now, whilst this *works*, it just doesn't feel right, and I would appreciate it if anyone has any more Pythonic expressions of this paradigm. Note that I have looked at Twisted (and I use it for other stuff), but I'm wanting to do things at a lower level (because I'm masochistic), and I feel like all the fun has been sucked out of programming by basically telling Twisted what I want and have it do it for me invisibly. Thanks! ~Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
