Dealing with thousands of threads termination

[Carlo Pires]

Hi,

I have an application that spawns a very high number of threads. So, I was thinking that to keep a list to use gevent.joinall() to wait their termination would not be a good solution. So, I'd like to ask you for the best approaches to deal with such problem.

You can use gevent.wait() ( if you on trunk, in 1.0b4 it was called
gevent.run() )

It waits for everything without any overhead. You'd need to make sure
that you stop all servers though and any other things that do not
terminate naturally.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Is there a way to iterate over
stalled threads if needed?

gevent.joinall() takes a sequence of greenlets, while gevent.wait() takes a sequence of "objects" (???).  Are you suggesting calling gevent.wait() without any args or passing a sequence of greenlets via the "objects" arg?  Also, which types of objects are valid for passing inside the "objects" sequence in gevent.wait()?

Thank you,
