What is the best way to await the joining of a system.util.invokeAsyncronous() call?

[pturmel]

If you look at my later.py, you will find that my wrappers for the various invoke operations return CompleteableFuture instances, with which you can do .whenComplete(doSomethingElse).

At the moment, you have to subclass BiConsumer to use that, but when IA picks up jython 2.7.4, it will include my fix for the auto wrapping of callables for that purpose. (:

Hint here:

Update GUI via Asynchronous thread

OK. I’ve poked myself with the futures idea. Grab the latest version of later.py, then try this: def asyncInvoked(): # do something in the background shared.later.callLater(system.gui.messageBox, "Please Press OK").get() # do something after OK is pressed system.util.invokeAsynchronous(asyncInvoked) Note the use of .get() to wait for system.gui.messageBox to complete. This updated later.py includes an emulation of invokeLater for gateway scope. Untested and unsupported! Edit: Realized…
