Passing an Event from a Thread to its Caller

[Matt Rapoport]

Hi all, I'm a newbie to python and threading in general.

I'm trying to write a service using the win32 extensions.  My service
runs a thread and the thread is just a simple class that I created.

I'd like that simple class of mine to be able to generate an event
within the service.  How do I do that?  Thank you very much for the
help.

Here's a snippet of the code (my simple class iss called Client)...


import Client

class ClientThread(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
        client = Client.Client()
        client.run()
        

class ClientService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
    _svc_name_ = "HBTClient"
    _svc_display_name_ = "HBTClient"
    def __init__(self, args):
        win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
        self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)
        
    def SvcStop(self):
        self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
        win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)

    def SvcDoRun(self):
        client = ClientThread()
        client.setDaemon(1)
        client.start()
        win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop,
win32event.INFINITE)
