Hi there,
I wrote a tcp server which listens on a port. When he gets a new
connection, he starts a new thread like this:
thread.start_ne w_thread(self.C onnectionHandle r, (conn,))
where conn is the socket for the connection.
After I started the server, I can see one running process under Linux,
which is ok. But once I connected to the Server, I always see two
processes where one is the parent of the other. I think this should be
normal behavier as long as the connection is established. But I also
see two processes when the connection is finished. So I thought that I
don't quit the thread for the connection correctly. Then I should see
three processes after I started a second connection, but I don't.
There are alwys just the two of them.
My question now is: does python make a thread pool where it does not
really quit the threads but instead reuses them if necessary? Or does
it need a second process to administrate threads?
bye

I can't answer this other than to say stop using "thread" and start
using "threading" . If you are using "threading" and your threads stop,
they disappear as you would expect. I don't think anyone is supposed
to use "thread" anymore... and it might solve your problems.

I tried it out and wrote instead of thread.start_ne w_thread this:
connThread = Thread(target=s elf.ConnctionHa ndler, args=(conn,))
connThread.star t()
The result is exactly the same. First, I see only one process. But as
soon as I connect to the server, there are two processes which always
are there even if I disconnect. But still, there are never more then
two processes. I think the other process is a controle thread because
I found this in the documentation:
"There is a ``main thread'' object; this corresponds to the initial
thread of control in the Python program. It is not a daemon thread."

So, logically, one would conlude that your thread never exits, even when
you disconnect. You'd better post code, or start sticking print statements
inside until you discover what is actually happening in your code.
Or replace the thread target with a function that does a simple time.sleep()
and observe the results. You should see the process exit, which ought to
prove to you that the problem is with your specific server code, and not
threads in Python.

I wrote this simple threading app using pygame. I'm looking to load a
movie via mplayer in full screen mode and have all my events be sent
to my python app and not mplayer. When my mouse is over the python app
it handles the events but when its over the mplayer window it handles
mplayer only. I'm new to threads so if anyone has a really great
tutorial let me know. My book didn't go into great detail

I am trying to use threads and mysqldb to retrieve data from multiple

My basic strategy is as follows, create two cursors, attach them to the

This works occasionally, but fails a lot taking python down with it.
Sometimes it also loses connection to the database. Sometimes I get an

Hi,
Just curious:

. . .
start_new_thread(function, args)
. . .
Second argument is mandatory. Is it incidental or for a reason?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
