Hey,
I'm running a function which evaluates commands passed in using stdin and another function which runs a bunch of jobs. I need to make the latter function sleep at regular intervals but that seems to be blocking the stdin. Any advice on how to resolve this would be appreciated.
The source code for the functions is
def runJobs(comps, jobQueue, numRunning, limit, lock):
while len(jobQueue) >= 0:
print(len(jobQueue));
if len(jobQueue) > 0:
comp, tasks = find_computer(comps, 0);
#do something
time.sleep(5);
def manageStdin():
print "Global Stdin Begins Now"
for line in fileinput.input():
try:
print(eval(line));
except Exception, e:
print e;
--Thanks
