> If a thread that are using a XSLT processor looses the GIL within the
transformation process and another one starts processing on the same
processor will this work?
Will the half-way finished thread be in the way of the one starting the
processing before the stoped thread are done.
I think that's what I ment. Can a XSLT processor object be shared
between multiple threads?
No - as a simple test reveals:
#The identity transform: duplicates the input to output
TRANSFORM = """<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
"""
#And I don't even like Monty Python, folks
SOURCE1 = """<spam id="eggs">What do you mean "bleah"</spam>"""
SOURCE2 = """<spam id="eggs">I don't like spam</spam>"""
import threading
from Ft.Xml.Xslt import Processor
processor = Processor.Processor()
import time, sys
from Ft.Xml import InputSource
transform = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(TRANSFORM,
"http://spam.com/identity.xslt")
processor.appendStylesheet(transform)
#Now the processor is prepped with a transform and ccan be used
#over and over for the same transform
results = []
source = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(SOURCE1,
"http://spam.com/doc1.xml")
source2 = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(SOURCE2,
"http://spam.com/doc2.xml")
threading.Thread(target=lambda:
results.append(processor.run(source))).start()
# comment the following line to make things crash.
time.sleep(5)
threading.Thread(target=lambda:
results.append(processor.run(source2))).start()
time.sleep(5)
print results
