Re: 2 python questions!

There is the following simple case: I have a dictionnary that gets it's values -which are url's-from a function.

If I do it on the simplest way, it would be like: for i in range(20): dictionnary[%s % i] = get_urls(args) and wait a long long time till it finishes. Can I do it easily with threads, without having to add too much code? Ideal case would be if all threads start simultaneously :) Look at thread.start_new_thread here: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-thread.html You can call a function in a separate thread, and you do not need to write a new class. (I do not like start_new_thread and I would define classes for this, but you are free to use this feature.) Now the second question has to do with images retrieval and manipulation. Which libraries do you propose to work with to retrieve and resize images from the web? I would use PIL because it is popular, easy to use, available on most platforms and has few dependencies.
