I'm a newbie to python threads, and playing with some simple client server stuff and lots of print statements.
My server thread launched with self.worker = WorkerThread(self) completes an interaction and then if I check on it's status with print "Status:", self.worker I get Status none A client thread behaves differently. Launched as self.clientWorker( = ClientThreadself) when it finishes it's work, I instead get: Status: <ClientThread(Thread-2, stopped)> If I check the isAlive status on each of those, self.worker.isAlive throws an exception, 'cause there is nothing there anymore to check isAlive on. But self.clientWorker comes back as False, since it is a stopped thread and hasn't gone away (which I'd like it to after it finishes its work). So my question is when a thread finishes its work how do I more predictably control whether it is just stopped, or goes away all together? I don't want to do a double nested 'if' statement to check if it exists before I check if it's alive. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
