Re: Global variables problem

Usually, modify global variables in a multi-thread/multi-process scenario is not the right to operate: you better re-implement your solution in a way that the shared resource is either protected with synchronized objects or accessed by a single thread/process (and in this case, it won't be a share

Re: Global variables problem

: ( False alarm, the earlier solution breaks multiprocessing. Whats happening here is the child needs to change a variable in the parent process, So I think I am looking at shared memory (maybe). Any suggestions? Regards, Nav On 04-Aug-2010, at 12:41 PM, Navkirat Singh wrote: > Thanks a l

Re: Global variables problem

Thanks a lot guys !! I solved the problem: In the lines: >> new_process = process(target=newprocess) >>new_process.start() The target=newprocess is pointing towards a variable, instead of a function. So, appending a () will make it goto that function, thereby changing

Re: Global variables problem

Your problem lies somewhere in the use of the Process class, not with global variables. If you replace your "p = ..." and "p.start()" lines with a direct call to self.handle_connection(), your code works as expected. I don't know much about the multiprocessing module, so I can't really comment on

Global variables problem

Hey guys, I am using a multiprocessing program, where the new process is supposed to change a variable in the main class that it branches out from. This is somehow not working, following is an approximate code. Would really appreciate any insight into this matter: var = {} class Something():
