Now, I have a list of "jobs", each job being a windows bat file that launches an executable and performs a rendering task. So I have this queue of jobs, and would like to launch one only when the previous one has finished, and in a separate window. So far I have not been having much success with simple stuff:
from threading import Thread
def mainFunction(): print 'function print' return 1
for i in range( 0, 3 ): oThread = Thread( target=mainFunction ).start()
if oThread == 1: print 'sleeping 3 seconds' time.sleep( 3 )
In this example, 'sleeping 3 seconds' not returned, and each thread is started without any waiting.
I'm looking at the various threading module details in the library but I have to admit that, well, I'm a bit at loss here.
Okay, so basically, what you want to do is:
- Start the first bat file. - Wait for it to finish. - Start the second bat file. - Wait for it to finish. - Start the third bat file. - Wait for it to finish.
This just begs the following question: why are you even using threads to do that? This is perfectly sequential, with no element of simultaneity whatsoever...
