multithreading - Python Multiprocessing Queue: Reading queue from another module -

i have issue reading multiprocessing queue function reading queue being called module.

below class containing function start thread runs function_to_get_data. class resides in own file, call one.py. function_to_get_data in file, two.py , infinite loop puts data queue (code snippet further down). contains function read queue. queue q defined globally @ beginning.

import multiprocessing 2 import function_to_get_data  q = multiprocessing.queue()     class poller:     def startpoller(self):         pollerthread = multiprocessing.process(target=module_to_get_data,args=(q,))         pollerthread.start()      def getpoller(self):         if q.empty():             print "queue empty"         else:             pollresqueue = q.get()             q.put(pollresqueue)             return pollresqueue  if __name__ == "__main__":     startpoll = poller()     startpoll.startpoller() 

below snippet function_to_get_data:

def module_to_get_data(q):     while 1:         # performs actions #         q.put(data_from_actions) 

i have module, three.py, requires data queue , requests calling function initial class:

from 1 import poller externalpoller = poller() data_this_module_needs = externalpoller.getpoller() 

the issue queue empty.

i should add function in three.py called thread in one.py post web page:

def post(data):     data = web.input()     if data == 'start':         thread_two = multiprocessing.process(target= function_in_three_py, args=(q,))         thread_two.start()  

if use python command line , enter 2 poller functions , call them, data queue no problem.
