    <p>I've written a script that uses two thread pools of ten threads each to pull in data from an API. The thread pool implements <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577187-python-thread-pool/" rel="noreferrer">this code on ActiveState</a>. Each thread pool is monitoring a Redis database via <a href="http://redis-py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html#redis.StrictRedis.pubsub" rel="noreferrer">PubSub</a> for new entries. When a new entry is published, python passes the data to a function that uses python's <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html#popen-constructor" rel="noreferrer">Subprocess.POpen</a> to execute a PHP shell to do the actual work of calling the API.</p> <p>This system of launching PHP shells is necessary for functionality with my PHP web app, so launching PHP shells with Python can't be avoided.</p> <p>This script will only be running on Linux servers.</p> <p><del>How do I control the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)" rel="noreferrer">niceness</a> (scheduling priority) of the application's threads?</del></p> <p><em>Edit:</em></p> <p>It seems controlling scheduling priority for individual threads in Python isn't possible. Is there a python solution, or at the very least a UNIX command I can run along with my script, to control the priority?</p> <p><em>Edit 2:</em></p> <p>Well I didn't end up finding a python way to handle it. I'm just running my script with nice now like this:</p> <pre><code>nice -n 19 python MyScript.py </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
