Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveat (s): FOUO Thanks for the help and I am looking into the pyprocessing but threading is causing too many headaches (I may have to rewrite things). Lets say I have something as simple as below:
def takeTime(a): print "Started %s" % a time.sleep(10) print "Ended %s" % a for each in [1,2,3,4,5]: pid = os.fork() takeTime(each) Each time the function is called it waits 10 seconds. And if I run it as above it does the first and waits 10 seconds then the second and waits ten seconds...etc. Wow could I get it to run through all 5 "forks" without waiting for the previous one to complete? That was all five would be done in about 10 seconds. This is simpler than my real problem but I can not even figure this one out. Thanks for the help.
