I have a quick question regarding threads and IronPython.
I need to code a python function having an input parameter to be the
target delegate of a newly created thread using the ThreadStart method
to pass the parameter.
Here an example of the code that fails:
IronPython 0.9.2036 on .NET 2.0.50215.44
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> from System import Threading
>>> def echo(parm):
... print parm
...
>>> td = Threading.Thread(echo)
>>> td.Start('test')
System.InvalidOperationException: The thread was created with a ThreadStart dele
gate that does not accept a parameter.
at input_3.Run(Frame frame)
>>>
Obviously, I need to tell the interpreter that the ThreadStart
delegate should take a parameter, but I don't know much about
delegates and thus don't how to do it.
If i don't use a delegate function with a parameter the ThreadStart works fine..
IronPython 0.9.2036 on .NET 2.0.50215.44

>>> def talk():
... print 'talking'
...
>>> from System.Threading import Thread
>>> td = Thread(talk)
>>> td.Start()
talking
>>>
Thanks in advanced for any light that you could provide,
Anthony
