Hi,
I'd like to run two processes concurrently (either through a builtin
module or a third-party). One is a "background" task and the other is
displaying a spinner (for which I already found good packages).
The two processes do not have to communicate with each other; only
the second should be able to know when the first has terminated. To
make it clear, this is the pseudo-code:
```
import time, PARALLEL, spinner
process1 = PARALLEL.start(time.sleep(60))
while process1.isrunning
spinner.update()
time.sleep(1)
print('done')
```
>From what I see, Python modules threading and multiprocessing seem
either not suited for that or to be too complicated (though I don't
have any experience with these and could be wrong). A search on PyPi
for parallel, background, and concurrent found too many.
What would you do? Which technique or module would you suggest?
Thorsten
