python multiprocessing member variable not set
- by Jake
In the following script, I get the "stop message received" output but the process never ends. Why is that? Is there another way to end a process besides terminate or os.kill that is along these lines?
from multiprocessing import Process
from time import sleep
class Test(Process):
def __init__(self):
Process.__init__(self)
self.stop = False
def run(self):
while self.stop == False:
print "running"
sleep(1.0)
def end(self):
print "stop message received"
self.stop = True
if __name__ == "__main__":
test = Test()
test.start()
sleep(1.0)
test.end()
test.join()
