Hi As discussed in a previous thread
http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2009-May/019717.html a task put in its own thread via deferToThread() won't stop even though the reactor has stopped. It has to carry out its own check that the reactor is running and stop if that is not the case. My question is: Is it possible to use anything else than the reactor.running as stop condition in this way? In my current twisted application I would like to keep the reactor running but still have some deferToThread jobs stop if e.g. an exception occurs in one of the jobs. In the code example below I try to use my own global field, running, as stop condition, but it doesn't work. If I let bar() call reactor.stop() after the time.sleep(3) and use reactor.running in foo() it works, however. import time from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.internet.threads import deferToThread running = True def foo(): while running: print "working" time.sleep(1) def bar(): time.sleep(3) print "stopping" running = False d1 = deferToThread(foo) d2 = deferToThread(bar) reactor.run() Best regards, Thomas Jakobsen _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
