I'm using IDA 6.0 with IDAPython 1.4.3, and I need to create thread from the .py script.
My code looks like this:

Code: Select all

import time, thread

def test_proc(msg):

    while True:

        print msg
        time.sleep(1)

thread.start_new_thread(test_proc, ("Test", ))

But it doesn't work properly: created thread freezes immediately after the script execution.
So, anybody knows some working solution, to run background thread from python code in IDA?

IDA is inherently NOT multithreading safe. Many APIs rely upon global state which will cause problems with multiple threads.
You can however create multiple threads if these do not interface the IDA API.

I need in thread creation for running XMLRPC server to dispatch callback events from Ubigraph.
Finally, I solved problem with thread creation from python code by writing a small DLL, that makes CreateThread() + PyRun_SimpleString("my_module.dispatch_callbacks()").
