Simple thread pools

[Jacob Friis]

I have built a script inspired by a post on Speno's Pythonic Avocado:
http://www.pycs.net/users/0000231/weblog/2004/01/04.html#P10

I'm setting NUM_FEEDERS to 1000.
Is that crazy?
Are there a better solution?

Thanks,
Jacob

I'm flattered, but I suggest you avoid using Threads and instead consider
what serveral others have already mentioned: Twisted.

You can find more info here:

http://twistedmatrix.com

If my memory serves me right (IMMSMR?), a user on the Twisted Python
mailing list posted not too long ago (today?) about coding an RSS
aggregator using Twisted. Hey, that user was you!

Going farther back, on March 31, Valentino Volonghi posted about his RSS
code too.

Take care.

All discussionso on threading apart, you might find it's better to build
a zip or tar on the server and do a single transfer, if that's a
practial colution ot the problem.
