[twill] twill with threads

[Barry Hart]

We've been using Twill recently to do volume testing of a web site. Each
simulated user is a separate CPython process running Twill. The processes
are lightweight enough that a single ordinary PC with 2GB of RAM can
easily simulate dozens of users.

Hi,

->         #login
->         go(ip + '/login.asp')
->         fv('1', 'user', 'user')
->         fv('1', 'password', 'password')
->         submit('3')
-> 
->         req = urllib2.Request(ip + '/status.asp')
->         response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
->         statusPage = response.read()

You could do this with twill easily enough -- just do

   browser = twill.commands.browser
   statusPage = browser.get_html()

-> my question is: Is ok to use twill like that?
-> Is it thread safe?

...however, unfortunately, the commands interface in twill is not thread
safe, and mechanize (which twill uses to actually do anything :) may
also not be threadsafe.

best,
