When a function takes several seconds to do its job, you need to use threads in order that the application, created using PyGTK, do not freeze.
However, I do not know what is the best way to write code when many functions should use threads.
I found this answer which shows how to proceed.
Assuming I have 3 different functions, that means I have to do this:
class ThreadFunction1(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.start()
def run(self):
# do something1
class ThreadFunction2(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.start()
def run(self):
# do something2
class ThreadFunction3(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.start()
def run(self):
# do something3
And then I could call separately ThreadFunction1(), ThreadFunction2() or ThreadFunction3().
I do not think this is the most elegant way to do, that makes a lot of repetitions. How should I do please?
