[bottlepy] gevent and FTP upload

[Rémi Bouhl]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a very simple web interface to allow people to upload
files on a FTP, without giving access to the whole FTP directory.
I get stuck at trying to upload the file in background while writing a
message to end user.

All I want to do is starting the FTP upload (and let it running to its
end), while displaying a friendly message.

I have set up two "greenlets" ("ftp_upload_greenlet" and "send_message"),
one for uploading, one for message, and I try to start them with
gevent.sleep(0).
As far as I know, the "ftp_upload_greenlet" starts, since I get the
"Tentative de connexion" message with.

The FTP code works and uploads files if I use it from a python console.

How do I start both gevents on the same time ?

Thx.

You should move the inner defs to outside of the main function.

Look at the spot where they spawn greenlets and then test for outcome.
This is what you want to mimic.
