Hi
I am fairly new to Python threading and my needs are simple(!)
I want to establish a number of threads each of which work on the same
computationally intensive problem in different ways.
I am using the thread module rather than the threading module.
My problem is I can't see how (when one thread completes) to ensure that the
other threads terminate immediately.
Appreciate some simple advice
Phil

I presume your threads contain some sort of loop structure at
some stage...
Insert a non-blocking test on some shared condition variable,
and have the thread terminate /itself/ when the condition is set. The
condition would need to be set, by your code, by whichever thread should
complete first, on its own.
May not even need a condition/event/lock -- a globally shared
variable might be sufficient.

With Python's threads, you have to handle this kindd a feature yourself.
For example, you can create a single object containing a boolean set to
False by default. When one of your algorithm finishes, the boolean is
set to True. All your algorithm should regularly test this boolean and
exit if it is True ! Note that the boolean has to be inside another
object because Boolean types is not mutable. Now, if you really want to
be able to "kill" your threads, you will need another thread interface.
For example, Qt threads allows that ... and WxPython offers you some
functions to do exactly what I described.

hello,
i need a function like that,
wait 5 seconds:
(during wait) do the function
but function waits for keyboard input so if you dont enter any it waits
forever.
i tried time.sleep() but when i used time.sleep in while, the function
in while never executed.
then i found something about Timer but couldnt realize any algorithm in
my mind.

Hello Folks,
My first posting here and I am a stuck in figuring out the exact way
to update a global variable from within a function that doesnt return

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.
