Basic Python Threading

In a fairly recent article post, I called out for some testing with the new version of Mythbuntu Log Grabber.
On a similar note, i would like to share a bit of python knowledge gained in the venture of building the new version.
As many will tell you, the Threading module in Python is usually not one to just go diving into for many reasons (none of which I have plans to go into here). However with a little know how (and allot of documentation) I was able to make things work quite well.

Mythbuntu Log Grabber

Recently I completed work on the latest version of Mythbuntu Log Grabber. Mythbuntu Log Grabber was built originally to provide an easy to gather diagnostic data for users that don't know exactly what to provide. After a few releases in the wild and some minor bugs I decided to covert it to a Mythbuntu Control Centre plugin and give it some upgrades.

A few quick features:

  • Built-in pastebin posting removing the dependency on pastebinit
  • Selection of which logs to post
  • Full log posting
