...oh yeah: import threading import time fname = "data.txt" f = open(fname) print f.read() f.close() f = open(fname, "a") f.write("some text\n") f.close() f = open(fname) print f.read() f.close() class MyThread(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, file_name): threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): time.sleep(3) f = open(fname) print f.read() f.close() f = open(fname, "a") f.write("other text\n") f.close() f = open(fname) print f.read() f.close() my_t = MyThread(fname) my_t.start() my_t.join() --output:-- hello world hello world some text hello world some text hello world some text other text -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
