Threading question - DPaul - Jun-22-2020
I'm into waiting lines. (Yes i know there are formulas and ready made modules available)
I imagine a bakery with random client arrivals (between x and y seconds)
This makes a queue which i can monitor every 5 seconds with the code below (that works.)
question 1: does this code look solid = python compliant ?
The queue will (later) be depleted by 1,2 or 3 personnel servicing te clients,each finishing in random a to b seconds.
question 2: can i start a second threading class (personnel) within the same __main__ (not interfering with my arrivals thread)?
queue = 0
class arrivals(threading.Thread):
def run(self):
global queue
while True:
secs = random.randint(5,10)
time.sleep(secs)
queue += 1
myClients = arrivals()
myClients.start()
while True:
print(queue)
time.sleep(5)thx,Paul
