Hi All,
sorry if this is a newbie problem, but i have RTFM etc
I have a problem with the following class
from threading import *
class KernelThread(Thread):
"A Kernel Thread implementation"
def __init__(self):
# init the base class constructor
Thread.__init__()
# set the thread to a daemon thread
self.setDaemon( TRUE )
# create the event we sleep on
self.sleepingEvent = Event()
# start the thread
self.start();
def run(self):
# the main thread event loop
while(1):
wait( self.sleepingEvent )
self.targetObject.handleMessage( self.internalMessage )
self.sleepingEvent.clear()
del self.targetObject
del self.internalMessage
def handleMessage(self,message,destObject):
# set up the data for the thread to handle
self.internalMessage = message
self.targetObject = destObject
self.sleepingEvent.set()
when i try and create an instance of the class i get
>>> t = KernelThread()
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<pyshell#36>", line 1, in ?
t = KernelThread()
TypeError: call of non-function (type module)
As i am a newbie to Python ( but not programming ), i seem to be missing
something to do with threading/python syntax here. Any help REALLY
appreciated, i am sure its an obvious omission on my part so dont flame me
to hard :-)
Regards
