wait() blocks the thread from which it is called until the thread on which it is called terminates. Generally you should be calling this when the application is about to exit, or e.g. when you've instructed the thread to exit and it is not expected to hang around much longer (or has already exited). > In my case my app will receive an arbitrary amount of tasks and I need > to figure out how many of those tasks I want to run at the same time. That sounds like a job for QThreadPool and/or QtConcurrent. I would try to avoid actually creating a large number of threads, as they consume system resources, and instead create a work queue and limit the number of threads that ever exist concurrently. (QtConcurrent basically does that for you, automatically. I haven't worked with QThreadPool but I believe it is similar; in fact I believe it is used to implement QtConcurrent.) -- Matthew _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/pyside
