At least the Agg backend *looks* to be reasonably threadsafe -- there are no obvious gotchas like global variables etc. Note, though, that multithreading may not gain much in the way of performance since the global interpreter lock is never released around long-running C blocks.
However, I can't speak about this from any experience -- so, maybe it needs some trying. Any patches to help with thread safety and performance are of course welcome ;) Cheers, Mike Chris Withers wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm wondering what work people have done with matplotlib in > multi-threaded environments such as your average python web framework. > > Is matplotlib threadsafe? > > How have people gone about safely using it in a multi-threaded environment? > > cheers, > > Chris > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
