w2p_tvseries on Cygwin #7

Closed inakiabt closed 11 years ago

inakiabt commented 11 years ago

Hi! First of all, I really like this app, great job!

I'm trying to run it on Cygwin (Windows), but Python on Windows (problably Cygwin's version of Python), as far as I know, is unable to fork processes or at least is common to fail doing that.

So, Is there a way to run workers/schedulers manually instead to autocreate them dynamically? I could do that with a script.

It's the only thing that is not working! :(

Thanks.

Hi, glad that you like it. Didn't know such limitations exist in cygwin's version of python, but if you're referring to the multiprocessing module, than is heavily used by the "daemon" part of w2p_tvseries. Reassemble all the functionalities to be executed "within" the webserver would kinda kill on of the purposes of w2p_tvseries..... Also if the ability - to execute every operation in its own process, killing the requirement for the multiprocessing module - can definitely be "adapted" to run on a single process, that would require a bit of work right now. Given that surely there are plenty of python builds running fine on Windows and that you can use the binary version that basically it's a self-executable without any other requirements, this limitation is a show-stopper ?
