Thread attemp get location FAIL ?

[cuijartija]

I was testing threads in PYS60, this code works:

import e32
import thread,time

def process():
	timer = e32.Ao_timer()
	while 1:
		print "Tread1"
		timer.after(.4)

def process2():
	timer = e32.Ao_timer()
	while 1:
		print "Tread2"
		timer.after(.4)

timer2 = e32.Ao_timer()
thread.start_new_thread(process, ())
thread.start_new_thread(process2, ())
while 1:
	print "Main"
	timer2.after(.2)

Then i tested with urllib retriving data from server and it works

But if i try get location with thread i get: NaN always

I have this code for get location:

def gpsGetPosition():
	lastPositionGPS = positioning.position(course=1,satellites=1)['position']
	print lastPositionGPS['latitude'],lastPositionGPS['vertical_accuracy'],lastPositionGPS['longitude'],lastPositionGPS['horizontal_accuracy']
	return

If i call the function with out thread i get rigth location !

gpsGetPosition()

But if i try call the function in thread:

thread.start_new_thread(gpsGetPosition, ())

The function returns inmediatly with "Nan Nan Nan Nan" results, it seems like the thread dont wait for the position.position() function inside the funticion gpsGetPosition.

Any help? ideas?

Thanks !!!

Symbian design prefers single-threaded processes, one aspect of this preference is that resources (like the GPS API) are not shared automatically between threads. I do not know Python and the design of its modules, but this is what you are probably experiencing.
If there is a way to move the initialization of that "positioning" to the secondary thread, try doing that.

[SOLVED]

wizard_hu was right, i included the initialization GPS in the thread and all works well !!!




Thanks
