Technically, that is correct, but IMHO its complete nonsense to share the file object between threads in the first place. If you need the data in two threads, just read the file once and then share the read-only, immutable content. If the file is small or too large to be held in memory at once, just open and read it on demand. This also saves you from having to rewind the file every time you read it.
Am I missing something? Uli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
