Hi folks, I’m writing a program with a component that has to connect to IRC and call a callback function in case of a message. I tried using python-irclib for doing this, and executing the code in the main thread worked fine. When I moved the code part into the run method of a threading.Thread class, it doesn’t work anymore. The code is:
# …
def run(self):
# …
self._lg.debug('AAA')
irc = irclib.IRC()
server = irc.server()
server.connect('irc.freenode.net', 6667, 'rcc')
self._lg.debug('BBB')
irc.process_forever()
self._lg.debug('CCC')
# …
# …
(self._lg = logging.getLogger(…))
Now, the connect method does not return. That means that ‘AAA’ is
logged while ‘BBB’ and ‘CCC’ are not displayed (yes, I waited long
enough).
My guess was that the problem is that I have to call the connect()
method from the main thread. Is this right? If yes, what can I do
about it? If no, do you have an idea what’s the problem?
Best regards,
Robin
