Problems of API usage in multithreading
Posted: 24. Mar 2025, 03:48
Hi all,
I tested it's ok to manage VM in a single threading using API. But in multiple threads/processes, it reports "No module named xpcom".
I'm wondering if Virtualbox SDK supports multi-threading/processing, or only Python does not support.
Environment: Centos8, VirtualBox 7.1
SDK: Python binding

pool = Pool(processes=len(vm_names))
def vm_func(vm_name):
vb = virtualbox.VirtualBox() # error: no module named 'xpcom'
pool = Pool(3)
for name in vm_names:
pool.apply_async(func=vm_func, args=(name,))
