t.p.t.ThreadPool : class documentation

Create a new threadpool.

Parameters	minthreads	minimum number of threads in the pool
	maxthreads	maximum number of threads in the pool

Start the threadpool.

Call a callable object in a separate thread.

Parameters	func	callable object to be called in separate thread
	*args	positional arguments to be passed to func
	**kw	keyword args to be passed to func

Call a callable object in a separate thread and call onResult with the return value, or a twisted.python.failure.Failure if the callable raises an exception.

The callable is allowed to block, but the onResult function must not block and should perform as little work as possible.

A typical action for onResult for a threadpool used with a Twisted reactor would be to schedule a twisted.internet.defer.Deferred to fire in the main reactor thread using .callFromThread. Note that onResult is called inside the separate thread, not inside the reactor thread.

Parameters	onResult	a callable with the signature (success, result). If the callable returns normally, onResult is called with (True, result) where result is the return value of the callable. If the callable throws an exception, onResult is called with (False, failure). Optionally, onResult may be None, in which case it is not called at all.
	func	callable object to be called in separate thread
	*args	positional arguments to be passed to func
	**kwargs	keyword arguments to be passed to func

Method used as target of the created threads: retrieve a task to run from the threadpool, run it, and proceed to the next task until threadpool is stopped.

Shutdown the threads in the threadpool.
