I'm sorry, but when does oThread get the value 1?
If you're testing for it's existence via a True/False thing, try
if oThread:
But otherwise, I'm not sure what you're expecting to get.

Hello,
I have already messed a little with simple thread programming, wich took this form:
from threading import Thread
def mainFunction(): pass
Thread( target=mainFunction ).start()
Now, I have a list of "jobs", each job being a windows bat file that launches an executable and performs a rendering task. So I have this queue of jobs, and would like to launch one only when the previous one has finished, and in a separate window. So far I have not been having much success with simple stuff:
from threading import Thread
def mainFunction(): print 'function print' return 1
for i in range( 0, 3 ): oThread = Thread( target=mainFunction ).start()
if oThread == 1: print 'sleeping 3 seconds' time.sleep( 3 )
In this example, 'sleeping 3 seconds' not returned, and each thread is started without any waiting.
I'm looking at the various threading module details in the library but I have to admit that, well, I'm a bit at loss here.
Thanks in advance Bernard
