You also mentioned queues, but you didn't use them.
Not tested, but shows the basics: import threading import queue import socket def process(): while alive: thing = things_to_process.get() # do stuff with the thing here things_to_process.task_done() alive = True host = 'localhost' port = 9999 things_to_process = queue.Queue() process_thread = threading.Thread(target=process) process_thread.start() sock = socket.socket() sock.connect((host, port)) while alive: try: data = sock.recv() except Exception: # should probably do different things for different errors in real code alive = False sock.close() process_thread.join() raise else: things_to_process.put(data) -- CPython 3.3.0 | Windows NT 6.2.9200 / FreeBSD 9.1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
