The easy thing is to use a Queue object. The background thread uses
.put() to place a computed result on the QUeue and the caller uses
.get() to read from the queue. There's an assortment of other ways too.
Cheers,
Thank you for this hint. This goes a long way to solving
my problem.
One question - is there any way to name the objects that get
put on a queue? For my application, it's important to know
which thread put a particular item on the queue.
There's lots and lots of ways. The simplest might be to put two-tuples
of the thread identifier and some other object. eg
queue.put((threadID, obj))
Perhaps you can accomplish your goal that way, or perhaps a minor
variation would be more suitable.
