How to stop a process

[arkha]

Hi,

I searched a bit for a simple example showing how to simply stop a process, but couldn't find anything clear.

Suppose I have something simple like:

import simpy

def example(env):

    for i in range(10):

        event = simpy.events.Timeout(env, delay=1, value=42*i)

        value = yield event

        print('now=%d, value=%d' % (env.now, value))

env = simpy.Environment()

example_gen = example(env)

p = simpy.events.Process(env, example_gen)

and then run the simulation unilt say 6:

env.run(until=6)

After this point, I simply want to stop this process, so that if I run

env.run()

essentially I expect nothing else to happen (in particular no error being thrown).

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

To stop a process you can interrupt it. See the documentation on interrupting:

http://simpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topical_guides/process_interaction.html#interrupting-another-process

 You'll have to write some more code to handle the interrupt, otherwise an error will be thrown. 

For example:

def example(env):
    try:
       <your code here>
    except simpy.Interrupt as interrupt:
       <cleanup code here>

Then call `p.interrupt()` after the first run command.
