Asynchronous api for obtaining GPS position in python for S60

Question

I'm using positioning.position(). but this function is blocking. I want to be able to run another function while the GPS is being measured.

thanks

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with the S60, but if it supports threading here's an example of doing two functions at once:

import threading
import time

def doit1():
    for i in range(10):
        time.sleep(.1)
        print 'doit1(%d)' % i

def doit2():
    for i in range(10):
        time.sleep(.2)
        print 'doit2(%d)' % i

t = threading.Thread(target=doit2)
t.start()
doit1()
t.join()
print 'All done.'

Hope this helps.
