threaded code in IDLE

This code:

**************
import thread

def doprint(i):
print i

for i in range(0,100):
thread.start_ne w_thread(doprin t,(i,))
*************

Will run fine from the windows command line, but consistently
crashes IDLE on windows (it locks up with no error message)

Is this a known bug?

Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Matt

Which IDLE? Which Python? Which Windows?

Works for me on Windows2000, Python 2.3.2, Idle 1.0
If I run a thousand threads IDLE uses over 64MB unless I add a little
delay in between spawning threads. Using the Python interpreter, not
IDLE, I can add a time.sleep(.000 0015) and get away with 10,000
threads piling up with output to print. IDLE needs more time, try .01
sec and watch your Task Monitor. (Though 100 threads isn't much of
a load....)

For the past couple of months, Idle won't start when I invoke it. I am at a complete loss for why this is. When this happens, they python command line still starts, and python works fine otherwise. Most interesting to me is that a reboot won't fix the problem. But if I just try it again sometime later it will work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running python 2.3 on windows 2000 professional.

So say I am working on two separate .py files in IDLE that are part of the same program. Does anyone have problems where when you modify one file, and then run the other, the changes you made in the first aren't updated? I usually just close all the files, and restart IDLE, but this is a pain. Maybe because I always use right click -> edit with IDLE (on Windows). That starts up a separate Python Shell too, which I always close. MB

I typically use IDLE for editing and debug. On Windows at least, IDLE and the standard turtle graphics module do not mix. I think both use Tkinter. For now I use IPython and Jedit when using the turtle module but it's not a great solution for me. Is there any known work-around to use turtle with IDLE? If not is there a planned fix for the problem. I find turtle is a convenient way to do simple graphics without having to install...

I have one account on a WindowsXP machine that refuses to run IDLE (or any other python script that uses Tk). Other people can login to that PC and IDLE runs just fine, so it is not an installation issue. When the person who has the problem logs into another PC the problem follows them. Any ideas as to what might me wrong? This is the traceback from IDLE: C:\Python20\Tools\idle>..\..\python.exe idle.py Traceback (most recent call...

Hi Everyone, It would be a real big help if anyone can shed light on whether DB2 UDB 8.2 on Solaris will make optimum use of a Sun T2000 server. The server has 1 CPU with 8 cores and each core has 4 threads (32 virtual CPUs). We are exploring this option againts an equivalent performance pSeries box. But before we delve deeper, we want some basic info on that. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I'm trying to use ftp in python in a multi-threaded way on a windows box - python version 2.4.3. Problem is that it appears that it's only possible to have five instances/threads at one point in time. Errors look like: File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 107, in __init__ self.connect(host) File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 132, in connect self.welcome = self.getresp() File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 208, in getresp

I want to do something like this: for i = 1 in range(0,N): for j = 1 in range(0,N): D = calculate(i,j) I would like to now do this using a fixed number of threads, say 10 threads. What is the easiest way to do the "parfor" in python?

I've been programming in python for a few years using XEmacs on Solaris and Linux. I've been thinking about trying IDLE for a long time, but either it wasn't available on my system or I procrastinated. I finally have it available, and I gave it a try. I immediately encountered a basic problem for which I could not find a solution in the intro docs. I want to run a script in one directory that reads input from a file in another directory....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

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.

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...
