[zeromq-dev] Can ZeroMQ clients function within a single thread only?

[Seref Arikan]

Thanks Pieter.

I am working with plpython which lets me use python (and its wrappers for
native code) for functions, but I could do it all in C if push comes to
shove.
I've been asking about the thread limit to postgresql lists, since all I
have been seeing is "it is very bad, don't do it" in other messages. Will
certainly share my findings when I get some response from the postgres
community.
I'll give it a try, it is just that seeing the warnings, I did not want to
build something that is not guaranteed to work in a stable way. Let me
build a simple example and test it, let's see what happens.

Many thanks for your response.

Regards
Seref
