Pass object into process Python

Question

I have a program with an object trm of terminal, and terminal has the function write() which writes a string to a GUI. I am passing this object into a an object of multiprocessing.Process, however when I call the function write() within this process, it doesn't work. Nothing happens. What is going on?

Where is your code? What is a terminal? Does it have a flush() method and have you tried calling it after write()? — mhawke

@mhawke I'd love to show you my code, but unfortunately it is a large project and the code is heavily modulated and trying to show you "my code" isn't efficient. However I can say terminal is A GUI with tkinter, so maybe tinter isn't safe when it comes to the multiprocessing module — Logan Darby

Are you passing the trm object as the target of the multiprocessing.Process? As long as I know, the target should be a callable. In this case, you should be passing trm.write as the target of the process, not trm. If you need to pass arguments to the target, you can pass through the args parameter, which gets a tuple of arguments that will be passed to your target.
