multithreading pyhton code example

Example 1: create new thread python

from threading import Thread
from time import sleep

def threaded_function(arg):
    for i in range(arg):
        print("running")
        sleep(1)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    thread = Thread(target = threaded_function, args = (10, ))
    thread.start()
    thread.join()
    print("thread finished...exiting")

Example 2: Python3 - Multi Threaded Programming

#!/usr/bin/python3

import queue
import threading
import time

exitFlag = 0

class myThread (threading.Thread):
   def __init__(self, threadID, name, q):
      threading.Thread.__init__(self)
      self.threadID = threadID
      self.name = name
      self.q = q
   def run(self):
      print ("Starting " + self.name)
      process_data(self.name, self.q)
      print ("Exiting " + self.name)

def process_data(threadName, q):
   while not exitFlag:
      queueLock.acquire()
      if not workQueue.empty():
         data = q.get()
         queueLock.release()
         print ("%s processing %s" % (threadName, data))
      else:
         queueLock.release()
         time.sleep(1)

threadList = ["Thread-1", "Thread-2", "Thread-3"]
nameList = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"]
queueLock = threading.Lock()
workQueue = queue.Queue(10)
threads = []
threadID = 1

# Create new threads
for tName in threadList:
   thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
   thread.start()
   threads.append(thread)
   threadID += 1

# Fill the queue
queueLock.acquire()
for word in nameList:
   workQueue.put(word)
queueLock.release()

# Wait for queue to empty
while not workQueue.empty():
   pass

# Notify threads it's time to exit
exitFlag = 1

# Wait for all threads to complete
for t in threads:
   t.join()
print ("Exiting Main Thread")

Example 3: python 2.7 multithreading

from multiprocessing.pool import ThreadPool as Pool

pool_size = 10
pool = Pool(pool_size)

results = []

for region, directory_ids in direct_dict.iteritems():
    for dir in directory_ids:
        result = pool.apply_async(describe_with_directory_workspaces,
                                  (region, dir, username))
        results.append(result)

for result in results:
    code, content = result.get()
    if code == 0:
        # ...

Example 4: multithreading python

class FakeDatabase:
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = 0
        self._lock = threading.Lock()

    def locked_update(self, name):
        logging.info("Thread %s: starting update", name)
        logging.debug("Thread %s about to lock", name)
        with self._lock:
            logging.debug("Thread %s has lock", name)
            local_copy = self.value
            local_copy += 1
            time.sleep(0.1)
            self.value = local_copy
            logging.debug("Thread %s about to release lock", name)
        logging.debug("Thread %s after release", name)
        logging.info("Thread %s: finishing update", name)
