Embedding Python in a threaded app

I've embedded python in a threaded app which contains two threads that may
call into Python. The threads are created via the "C" api. If I can
guarantee (1) that no python API is ever called at the same time from the
two threads, is it necessary to init threads/aquire locks etc
(PyEval_InitThr eads, PyEval_AcquireT hread and friends)?
The reason (2) I ask this is that I'm afraid that the locking takes some
time. Is this concern justified? The docs mention that there is a perfomance
hit when threading is enabled.

(1)
Every call into the python API is guarded with a lock. One reason I believe
this to be more effective than python's internal locking is that nearly all
calls are from the same thread (>99.9%).

(2)
Another reason is that the python source file "thread_nt. h" includes calls
to GetCurrentThrea dId(), which returns Win32's native thread ID.

I am embedding python in my C++ application. I am using Python *2.3.2* with a C++ extention DLL in multi-threaded environment. I am using SWIG-1.3.19 to generate C++ to Python interface. Now to explain it in details, 1. Python initialization and finalization is done in the *main* thread. 2. For each new thread I create a separate sub-interpreter . 3. Using PyRun_String("import myModule"...) before execution of python

Greetings, I am new to python and wish to embed python in an 3D graphics application to provide application automation. The high level goal is to be able to drive my app from a script for batch job like behavior rather than via the GUI (ie. I would like to run a script and see those changes reflected in the GUI as if the user had clicked buttons, etc.) The application is written in C++ and uses QT for the GUI. I have read the python...

Hi, I am embedding Python into a multi-threaded application running on Solaris. Python will enable end users to customize and re-program many aspects of the application. I expect that the C++ application will be natively multi-threaded and will embed multiple Python sub-interpreters. Called Python scripts may in turn call back into the C++ application via SWIG wrappers of C++ objects.

I am working on embedding Python 2.5 in my C++ application, and I have a few questions: 1) My application is multi-threaded; what problems should I be aware of if I create a separate interpreter in each working thread? The documentation is a bit vague (or perhaps I haven't found the right place). Calls into my application are already thread-safe. 2) Rather than implementing my own editor in C++, I would like to be able to use existing...

Most computers default to English, but sometimes we require a different language, especially when relocating. Forgot to request a specific language before your computer shipped? No problem! You can effortlessly switch the default language on Windows 10 without reinstalling. I'll walk you through it. First, let's disable language synchronization. With a Microsoft account, language settings sync across devices. To prevent any complications,...

Hello folks, 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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies. I'm particularly interested in Zigbee because I've heard it does some...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
