Python script to read players around

[Reff]

Hello!
On the GF client.
I'm trying to read if there are players around me with this code:

import chr,time,thread,chat,threading

start_time = time.time()

def isInstance(vid):
	if chr.HasInstance(vid):
		return True
	return False

def isSelf(vid):
	if chr.GetNameByVID(vid) == chr.GetName():
		return True
	return False

def isPlayer(vid):
	if isInstance(vid):
		if chr.GetInstanceType(vid) == chr.INSTANCE_TYPE_PLAYER:
			return True
	return False

def SCAN():
	playerlist = []
	for x in xrange(10000000):
		if isInstance(x) and isPlayer(x) and not isSelf(x) and not x in playerlist:
			playerlist.append(x)
	return playerlist

def f1():
	PLRS = SCAN()
	chat.AppendChat(3, "Scan finished. {} players found.".format(len(PLRS)))
	chat.AppendChat(2, "Took {}.".format(time.time()-begin))

t1 = threading.Thread(name='SCAN', target=f1)
t1.start()
t1.join()

But for some reason it won't run?
I don't know why. And do you think this is the best method to do it? I couldn't find any functions to list players around me so I'm scanning for every possible VID number.

If anyone can give me some light Thank you

Maybe gamforge patched the threading module out with the update.
And i think you import threading wrong. I remember its something like

PHP Code:

from threading import Thread 


You import both threading and thread but they are 2 different modules.

I tried importing it both ways. It was indeed working yesterday before patch, now I just can't use it. It seems like when I do import threading it's like threading doesn't exist.

And using this:

thread.start_new_thread(f1,())

Isn't instantaneous, and sometimes it does not even run too.

OK, it seems like its patched then..

-> thread.start_new_thread(f1,())
This works though for basic tasks, just my code for some reason makes it slow. I don't have much experience with python.

Does anyone know any alternatives? Ways to find players around me within the script.

I fixed the threading use by adding the compiled threading.pyc back to metin2 lib folder.
Still, my method of reading players around me is too slow. If anyone's got a better way and they're willing to share?
I'm trying to do this through python only but I'll take any suggestion.
