python daemon thread example

Example 1: python daemon thread

import threading
import time

def func_1():
    while True:
        print(f"[{threading.current_thread().name}] Printing this message every 2 seconds")
        time.sleep(2)

# initiate the thread with daemon set to True
daemon_thread = threading.Thread(target=func_1, name="daemon-thread", daemon=True)
# or
# daemon_thread.daemon = True
# or
# daemon_thread.setDaemon(True)
daemon_thread.start()
# sleep for 10 seconds and end the main thread
time.sleep(4)
# the main thread ends

Example 2: python daemon thread

import threading
import time


def print_work_a():
    print('Starting of thread :', threading.currentThread().name)
    time.sleep(2)
    print('Finishing of thread :', threading.currentThread().name)


def print_work_b():
    print('Starting of thread :', threading.currentThread().name)
    print('Finishing of thread :', threading.currentThread().name)

a = threading.Thread(target=print_work_a, name='Thread-a')
b = threading.Thread(target=print_work_b, name='Thread-b')

a.start()
b.start()
