= Stopping Threads Blocco dei processi=

I'd like to start this page off with a question. How do you kill one thread from within another? Here's some code that shows the problem:

Inizio questa pagina facendo una domanda. Come si può fermare un processo dall'interno di un altro?

   1 import threading
   2 import time
   3 
   4 class Worker(threading.Thread):
   5   def __init__(self, eventChannel, eventHandler):
   6     self.eventChannel = eventChannel
   7     self.eventHandler = eventHandler
   8     self.stopFlag = 0
   9 
  10   def shutdown(self):
  11     self.stopFlag = 1
  12 
  13   def run(self):
  14     self.stopFlag = 0
  15     while not self.stopFlag:
  16       event = self.eventChannel.waitEvent() # blocking call
  17       self.eventHandler.dispatchEvent(event)
  18 
  19 
  20 eventChannel = EventChannel()
  21 eventHandler = EventHandler()
  22 worker = Worker(eventChannel, eventHandler)
  23 worker.start()
  24 time.sleep(20)
  25 worker.shutdown()

The problem here is that EventChannel.waitEvent() is a blocking operation. So if no event ever arrives, then our worker thread never stops. (EventChannel and EventHandler are classes I've invented for this example)

Il problema è che EventChannel.waitEvent() è una operazione di blocco. Così se l'evento non si verifica, allora il nostro lavoro non si fermerà mai. (EventChannel e EventHandler sono classi che io ho inventato per questo esempio)

== Suggestions Suggerimenti==

• Make the shutdown() method put some harmless event on the event channel:

• Utilizzare il metodo shutdown() spinge alcuni innocui eventi nelll'evento channel

  def shutdown(self):
    self.stopFlag = 1
    self.eventChannel.push_event(NullEvent())

• Or use a Queue to pass data. Handle errors in the handler (e.g. print them to the console), keep the thread alive.
• oppure usa una coda di dati passati. Manipolare errori con il manipolatore ( e.g. stampa poi alla console),mantiene vivo il processo

= Call to C function blocks all threads Chiamata ad una Funzione "C" che blocca tutti i processi=

I have a C module that does database queries. Those queries go off to an SQL server to be processed. I would like to use my query function within threads and to have it work like time.sleep(), that is, block the current thread until it finishes but allow other threads to continue operation. I haven't seen this issue addressed in any of the books I have.

Ho un modulo in "c" che pone delle interrogazioni al D.B. Queste interrogazioni pongono ad off il server SQLper essere processato.Posso usare delle mie funzioni di interrogazione dentro i processi per avere un lavoro come questo time.sleep(),blocco il corrente processo finchè lui termina ma permette agli altri processi di continuare le operazioni. Non ho visto questi inidirizzamenti in qualsiasi libro che possiedo.

• This can't be handled in Python code. The author of the database module should use Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS around blocking calls to permit other threads to run.

" Ciò può essere attuato con il codice python. L'autore del D.B.
