python3 thread code example

Example 1: threading python example

# A minimal threading example with function calls
import threading
import time

def loop1_10():
    for i in range(1, 11):
        time.sleep(1)
        print(i)

threading.Thread(target=loop1_10).start()

# A minimal threading example with an object
import threading
import time


class MyThread(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):                                         # Default called function with mythread.start()
        print("{} started!".format(self.getName()))        # "Thread-x started!"
        time.sleep(1)                                      # Pretend to work for a second
        print("{} finished!".format(self.getName()))       # "Thread-x finished!"

def main():
    for x in range(4):                                     # Four times...
        mythread = MyThread(name = "Thread-{}".format(x))  # ...Instantiate a thread and pass a unique ID to it
        mythread.start()                                   # ...Start the thread, run method will be invoked
        time.sleep(.9)                                     # ...Wait 0.9 seconds before starting another

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Example 2: threading python

import threading
import time

def thread_function(name):
     print(f"Thread {name}: starting")
     time.sleep(2)
     print(f"Thread {name}: finishing")
 
my_thread = threading.Thread(target=thread_function, args=(1,))
my_thread.start()
time.sleep(1)
my_second_thread = threading.Thread(target=thread_function, args=(2,))
my_second_thread.start()
my_second_thread.join() # Wait until thread finishes to exit

Example 3: python thread function

x = threading.Thread(target=thread_function, args=(1,), daemon=True)
x.start()
# x.join()

Example 4: python daemon thread

import threading
import time
 
shared_resource = False # Set the resource to False initially
lock = threading.Lock() # A lock for the shared resource
 
def perform_computation():
    # Thread A will call this function and manipulate the resource
    print(f'Thread {threading.currentThread().name} - performing some computation....')
    shared_resource = True
    print(f'Thread {threading.currentThread().name} - set shared_resource to True!')
    print(f'Thread {threading.currentThread().name} - Finished!')
    time.sleep(1)
 
def monitor_resource():
    # Thread B will monitor the shared resource
    while shared_resource == False:
        time.sleep(1)
    print(f'Daemon Thread {threading.currentThread().name} - Detected shared_resource = False')
    time.sleep(1)
    print(f'Daemon Thread {threading.currentThread().name} - Finished!')
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    a = threading.Thread(target=perform_computation, name='A')
    b = threading.Thread(target=monitor_resource, name='B', daemon=True) # Make thread B as a daemon thread
 
    # Now start both threads
    a.start()
    b.start()
