If i use the Timer cyclically the memory becomes
always less.
I found following problems::
1.) The thread is not clean deleted.=>
file:threading.py class: Thread methode:__delete
del _active[_get_ident()] only delete the thead from
the list, not the thead self. I think the call of the
destructor of the c++ based library need a explicit del.
The problem will be fixed with following lines:
def __delete(self):
_active_limbo_lock.acquire()
t=_active[_get_ident()]
del _active[_get_ident()]
del t
_active_limbo_lock.release()
2.) A cyclic timer is a needed feature and it should
not use a new thread every time.
So i made following enhancement (parameter cyclic) in the
file:threading.py class: _Timer
class _Timer(Thread):
"""Call a function after a specified number of seconds:
t = Timer(30.0, f, args=[], kwargs={})
t.start()
t.cancel() # stop the timer's action if it's still
waiting
"""
def __init__(self, interval, function, cyclic=0,
args=[], kwargs={}):
Thread.__init__(self)
self.interval = interval
self.function = function
self.args = args
self.kwargs = kwargs
self.finished = Event()
self.cyclic= Event()
if cyclic:
self.cyclic.set()
def cancel(self):
"""Stop the timer if it hasn't finished yet"""
self.cyclic.clear()
self.finished.set()
def run(self):
flag =1
while flag:
self.finished.wait(self.interval)
if not self.finished.isSet():
self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
if not self.cyclic.isSet():
self.finished.set()
flag = 0
