Multi threads in background

[cfauvel]

Hi everybody,

I would like to develop a custom application to correlate data between two scripts I've already written in Python. These scripts display strings transferred via USB-UART dongle on standard output with timestamp, payload and status as well. The idea is to display the traces in each part of a window and align them according to their timestamps. I have already used the worker mechanism on Textual but that was for a single background process. If now I want to have two background processes, I don't know how to do it.

My questions are:

• Is it possible to have multiple background threads
• If so, could anyone provide me with a skeletton ?

Best regards,

You can launch as many workers as you like. Creating the new worker(s) is done in the same way as the first.

Maybe you assumed there was more to it than that?

Hi Will, So nice of you to reply this fast. I will test it tomorrow ! Yeah I thought it would be more complex than that :) Thank you for the support as well as the beautiful libraries (rich and textual). Best regards,
