With your help, Franck, I think I finally got it to work. This is how I did it:# In the main program, launch the 2 threads CStoreData and CTransferData, which will run indefinitely until they are stopped (if the threads were launched inside the while loop, there would be an infinitely growing number of threads CStoreData all doing the same thing, same for CTransferData) func_store_data = CStoreData() func_store_data.start() func_transfer_data = CTransferData() func_transfer_data.start() # While loop, just to keep the threads running until they are stopped at the end of the program. If there wasn't a while loop, the threads would be stopped right after they are launched. The while loop separates the "start" of the threads from the "stop" of the threads while 1 if end_condition: # terminate program break # break out of while loop
You might want to insert a sleep or something in there, otherwise you'll be it'll consume a lot of CPU time doing nothing (a 'busy wait').
# Stop all running threads at end func_store_data.stop() func_store_data.join() func_transfer_data.stop() func_transfer_data.join() Again thanks a lot to all of you for your precious help.
