Yes, I am using background threads. I have some functions triggered by
actions which make calls on remote services, and so may take arbitrarily
long to execute; I fork worker threads to do that fetch. I'm using
Python's threading.Thread; should my "target" function look like this?
def thread_target(*args):
pool = NSAutoreleasePool.alloc().init()
try:
...
finally:
del pool
Then, in the main thread:
threading.Thread(target=thread_target,args=(...)).start()
