Hi, I have this following situation:
#INFO: Thread Support # Will require more design thoughts from Queue import Queue from threading import Thread, currentThread NUMTHREADS = variables.options.num_of_threads def run(request, response, func=download_from_web): '''Get items from the request Queue, process them with func(), put the results along with the Thread's name into the response Queue. Stop running once an item is None.''' name = currentThread().getName() while 1: item = request.get() (sUrl, sFile, download_size, checksum) = stripper(item) if item is None: break response.put((name, func(sUrl, sFile, sSourceDir, None))) My download_from_web() returns True or False depending upon whether the download was successful or failed. How can I check that in the above code ? One other question I had, If my user passes the --zip option, download_from_web() internally (when the download is successful) zips the downloaded data to a zip file. Since in case of threading there'll be multiple threads, and say if one of the thread completes 2 seconds before others and is doing the zipping work: What will the other thread, at that moment do, if it completes while the previous thread is doing the zipping work ?
