Threating problem

[Aleksandar Cikota]

Hi all,

I have a problem with threading. The following part should be running in a 
main programm all the time, but so that the main programm also works (like 2 
seperate programms, but in one)
How to integrate the part in the main programm?

Code:

import win32com.client
import time
import os
import threading

Document = win32com.client.Dispatch('MaxIm.Document')
Application = win32com.client.Dispatch('MaxIm.Application')
p = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch('PinPoint.Plate')


class TestThread ( threading.Thread ):
    path_to_watch = "F:/Images/VRT/"
    before = dict ([(f, None) for f in os.listdir (path_to_watch)])
    while 1:
        time.sleep(2)
        after2 = dict ([(f, None) for f in os.listdir (path_to_watch)])
        added = [f for f in after2 if not f in before]
        if added:
                name= ' ,'.join (added)
                if str(name[-3:])=='fit':
                            Document.OpenFile('F:/Images/VRT/'+name)
                            Document.SaveFile('F:/Images/VRT/'+ 
str(name[0:-4])+'.jpg', 6, 1024,2)
                            Application.CloseAll()

                            try:
                                p.AttachFITS('F:/Images/VRT/'+name)
                                p.ArcsecPerPixelHoriz = -1.7
                                p.ArcsecPerPixelVert = -1.7
                                p.MaxMatchResidual = 1.0
                                p.FitOrder = 3
                                p.CentroidAlgorithm = 0
                                p.RightAscension = p.TargetRightAscension
                                p.Declination = p.TargetDeclination
                                p.Catalog = 0  # GSC
                                p.CatalogPath = 'F:/'
                                p.ProjectionType = 1 #
                                p.Solve()
                                p.DetachFITS()

                                pRA = p.RightAscension
                                pDec = p.Declination
                                print pRA
                                print pDec

                            except:
                                p.DetachFITS()
                                print 'Error'
                before = after2


TestThread().start()




For your prompt reply, I say thank you in advance.
