Hi all. Im having some "problems" with a small concurrent plpython function.
Based on a small example [1] about concurrent programming, there is some
code which works fine under python:
#! /usr/bin/python
import threading, random
import time
def myPrint(str): print 'searching...', str time.sleep(random.randint(10, 10000) / 1000.0) print str, 'OK!'
myThreads = (threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["hello"]), \ threading.Timer(random.random(),
myPrint,["concurrent"]), \ threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["world"]))
for thr in myThreads: thr.start()
gherzig@linux: python pp.py
searching... concurrent
searching... world
searching... hello
hello OK!
concurrent OK!
world OK!
So far, so good. Almost the same example in plpythonu:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_t()
returns bigint
security definer
as
$$
import threading, random
import time
def myPrint(str): plpy.notice ('searching...', str) time.sleep(random.randint(10, 10000) / 1000.0)
plpy.notice(str,'OK!')
myThreads = (threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["hello"]), \ threading.Timer(random.random(),
myPrint,["concurrent"]), \ threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["world"]))
for thr in myThreads: thr.start()
return 10000
$$ language plpythonu;
gse_new_version=# select * From search_t();search_t
---------- 10000
(1 row)
Looks like myPrint() is not executing at all!!
Have no idea why, so i decided writing both on python and postgres
forums. Any ideas??
Postgres 8.1.3
python 2.5.1
Thanks!!
