while learning some basic programming with python, i found web.py. i
got stuck with a stupid problem:
i wrote a simple console app with a main loop that proccesses items
from a queue in seperate threads. my goal is to use web.py to add
items to my queue and report status of the queue via web request. i
got this running as a module but can´t integrate it into my main app.
my problem is when i start the http server with app.run() it blocks my
main loop.
also tried to start it with thread.start_new_thread but it still
blocks.
is there an easy way to run web.py´s integrated http server in the
background within my app.
in the likely event that i am a victim of a fundamental
missunderstanding, any attempt to clarify my error in reasoning would
help ;.) ( please bear with me, i am a beginner :-)
Wouldn't is be simpler to re-write your main-loop code to be a function that you call over and over again, and then call that from the function that you pass to runsimple...
It's guaranteed not to fully satisfy your requirements, but if you're in a rush, it might be easiest.
Using web.py as non blocking http-server
