Passing data between threads

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi all,

I have a script where I create a thread using the thread module. The
thread runs its course and then calls thread.exit ().

However, I'd like to pass some data back to the parent thread before alling
thread.exit () but I can't figure out how.

Any ideas?

Erik

take a look at the Queue class (e.g. calling thread provides queue as
parameter):
