create thread in python 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: how to thread python

import threading, time

def worker():
    """thread worker function"""
    print('Worker')
    return

threads = []
for i in range(5):
    t = threading.Thread(target=worker)
    threads.append(t)
    t.start()
    print('Thread')

Example 3: 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)
