Re: [python-win32] Dispatch command hangs

Is this an out-of-process server, so you’re receiving requests from other processes? If so, then I think you’re seeing RPC (Remote Procedure Call), which marshals the parameters back and forth, and I believe those are all first-come first-served. — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Pr

Re: [python-win32] Dispatch command hangs

and see if that helps. But even then, you bang up against the Python interpreter lock, which only allows the interpreter to handle one thread at a time. I wouldn’t think you’d have to wait for the whole set of object requests to drain, but threading in Python is always tricky. — T
