background - somboku - Jul-29-2021
Guys,
first things first. HI - I am new here and to python.
How can I do a job in the background while doing a different thing.
Its just a small project for my Raspberry
script simple:
import python-forum-knowledge
def main():
start_blink() # just let a led blink in a while loop
if fetch_my_mails(): # nomen est omen
stop_blink()I thought about subprocess.getstatusoutput, but this one is wating for an output of course. Some kind of threading inside the script?
Ohhh yeah. the whole thing is runnging under daemon.DaemonContext
So if you could push me in a direction - do it!
Thanks.
K.

Have yet to use, but I'd be looking into asyncio.
Python docs for async IO

thanks man. messed around a bit with asyncIO, but it was a way too much
found module "threading", that did the job easy.
thanks anyway for the answer.
cheers K.
