# A parallelized "find(1)" using the thread module.
# This demonstrates the use of a work queue and worker threads.
# It really does do more stats/sec when using multiple threads,
# although the improvement is only about 20-30 percent.
# (That was 8 years ago. In 2002, on Linux, I can't measure
# a speedup. :-( )
# I'm too lazy to write a command line parser for the full find(1)
# command line syntax, so the predicate it searches for is wired-in,
# see function selector() below. (It currently searches for files with
# world write permission.)
# Usage: parfind.py [-w nworkers] [directory] ...
# Default nworkers is 4

# wq.run(nworkers)

# The function calls executed by the workers may add more work.
# Don't use keyboard interrupts!
