running into a thread limit

[tavaksai]

Hi Farshizzo,

Yes, viz.director() stops also even without a single execution of <multimedia>.play() and <multimedia>.play() eventually stops working without any viz.director() calls.

Try running the following code:

import thread
import time
import viz
viz.go()

def myfunc():
sum = 0
for i in range(100000):
sum = sum + i
print 'sum is:', sum

for i in range(100):
thread.start_new_thread(myfunc, ())

On my computer, which by the way has plenty of memory, I only get 47 outputs of "sum is 4999950000" even though I create 100 threads and I get a message in red that says, "error: can't start new thread". You can replace the last line above with viz.director(myfunc) and you will get the same result except that no error message will be displayed.
