src.pyflow.StoppableThread

Class StoppableThread

Thread class with a stop() method. The thread itself has to check regularly for the stopped() condition.

Note that this is a very new thread base class for pyflow, and most threads do not (yet) check their stopped status.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, *args, **kw)
This constructor should always be called with keyword arguments.

source code

stop(self)
thread specific stop method, may be overridden to add async thread-specific kill behavior

init(self, *args, **kw)
(Constructor)

source code

This constructor should always be called with keyword arguments. Arguments are:

*group* should be None; reserved for future extension when a ThreadGroup class is implemented.

*target* is the callable object to be invoked by the run() method. Defaults to None, meaning nothing is called.

*name* is the thread name. By default, a unique name is constructed of the form "Thread-N" where N is a small decimal number.

*args* is the argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ().

*kwargs* is a dictionary of keyword arguments for the target invocation. Defaults to {}.

If a subclass overrides the constructor, it must make sure to invoke the base class constructor (Thread.__init__()) before doing anything else to the thread.

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)
