Simple multi-threading with SQLObject doesn't work

Question

It stucks once I execute .getOne():

from sqlobject import *
import threading

sqlhub.processConnection = connectionForURI('mysql://user:password@localhost:3306/database')

class Player(SQLObject):
    name = StringCol(length=64)
    last_login = DateTimeCol()
    create_date = DateTimeCol(default=DateTimeCol.now)

def act():
    result = Player.selectBy(name='Zippo')
    player = result.getOne()
    print 'You will never see this message in console.'

threading.Thread(target=act).start()

Answer 1

Unfortunately the problem was not related to SQLObject or Python. It was probably my computer or my MySQL server. Sorry for misquestioning everybody.

Answer 2

could getOne be falling over, and you're just not seeing the exception? In this case you can specify a default result as an argument, or you could put it in a try/except clause.

What happens if you run it in a debugger?

there's not much info to go on here as we don't know what's in your database.
