[Zope] Threads in ExternalMethods

[Juan Carlos Coruña]

Yes, I have fired off a new thread and passed it in the contructor the self
variable. It seems to be problems in referencing other zope methods from
within the new started thread.

Here is my example, I call the listaArticulos method:

def listaArticulos(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE):

    generando = GenerarEnviarListaPrecios(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE)
    generando.start()
    return 1

def longProcess(context):
    # long process for example:
    return context.context.myZopeSqlMethod()

class GenerarEnviarListaPrecios(Thread):
    def __init__(self, context, REQUEST, RESPONSE):
        Thread.__init__(self)
        self.context = context
        self.REQUEST = REQUEST
        self.RESPONSE = RESPONSE

    def run(self):
        result = longProcess(self.context)
        .... mail result ....
        return
