Is it possible to run two "while 1:" loops in two threadings respectively?

[zxo102]

Hi,
I would like to combine two python applications into a single one
with two threadings. Both of them have a "while 1:" loop respectively.
For example, one application is to monitoring serial port 'com1' and
another application is a TCP/IP server which has used threadings
already. I write the following demo code but it does not work right.
It stays in the first "while 1:" and never thingOne.start( ). The
second threading never be started.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

thingOne.join()
print 'Thread', self.getName(), 'ended.'

if __name__=="__ma in__":
spc = serial_port_com 1()
tcpip = TCP_IP()
thingOne = ThreadOne(targe t=spc.spc())
thingOne.start( )
thingTwo = ThreadTwo(targe t=tcpip.tcpip() )
thingTwo.start( )

There are several problems here. First of all, one either subclasses
Thread and implements run - then your code should look like this:
class ThreadTwo(Threa d):
def run(self):
tcpip.tcpip()
Or you don't subclass Thread and pass a target. But that target must be
a function. You don't pass a function, you call it!!

Look at this:

Thread(target=t cpip.tcpip)

Note the missing parentheses!

Apart from that, you should seriously consider applying a consistent
naming style to your code.

Diez,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried the both you suggested. First
one works and second one does not. I am using "subclass thread" way to
implement my application. Thanks a lot.
