Then where you create instances of those classes:
sema = threading.semaphore()
a = nameA(sema)
b = nameB(sema)
Maybe you don't even need the semaphore at all: have a look at
Queue.Queue, it might do exactly what you need.
Ok, I think I'm going to back up and explain what I'm am heading towards. I'm working on an app that fire off a bunch of threads. Each one of these threads in connected via queues to another thread in a sequence like a chain. And how I tell the next stage thread that there is data in the queue is via semaphore. I couldn't come up with a better idea to control is sequence without having to get into patterns (maybe there is a observer pattern like in java for python, I don't know). And presently the global semaphores work (I know it's bad programming practice and it will be fixed - it's on the short list of thing to do). Presently, I'm reading about unit testing because that's a relatively new field to me, and I understand the basics of unit testing. It is the more depth concepts such as how the unit test threads that's not apparent to me (which google doesn't seem to have). Ok, back to searching!
