That is to say, I don't need **Python** code to ever run concurrently. I just need Python to allow a different Python worker thread to execute when all the other worker threads are blocking on the model.solve() task. Once the algorithm is in full swing, it is typical for all the worker threads should be blocking on model.Solve() at the same time. > > Sounds like Python will serve you just fine!

If not, then the OP could try to write a wrapper around them that does this. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4]
