multithreading code python code example

Example 1: multithreading in python

from multiprocessing.pool import ThreadPool

def stringFunction(value):
    my_str = 3 + value
    return my_str


def stringFunctio(value):
    my_str = 33 + value
    return my_str



pool = ThreadPool(processes=1)

    
thread1 = pool.apply_async(stringFunction,(8,))
thread2 = pool.apply_async(stringFunctio,(8,))

return_val = thread1.get()
return_val1 = thread2.get()

Example 2: how to execute program with multithreading python

#!/usr/bin/python

import thread
import time

# Define a function for the thread
def print_time( threadName, delay):
   count = 0
   while count < 5:
      time.sleep(delay)
      count += 1
      print "%s: %s" % ( threadName, time.ctime(time.time()) )

# Create two threads as follows
try:
   thread.start_new_thread( print_time, ("Thread-1", 2, ) )
   thread.start_new_thread( print_time, ("Thread-2", 4, ) )
except:
   print "Error: unable to start thread"

while 1:
   pass
