threading a function python code example

Example 1: 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 2: python threading

def myFunction(x, y):
  pass

x = threading.Thread(target=myFunction, args=(x, y))
x.start()

Example 3: how to run same function on multiple threads in pyhton

import multiprocessing

def worker(num):
    """ Worker procedure
    """
    print('Worker:', str(num))

# Mind the "if" instruction!
if __name__ == '__main__':
    jobs = [] # list of jobs
    jobs_num = 5 # number of workers
    for i in range(jobs_num):
        # Declare a new process and pass arguments to it
        p1 = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i,))
        jobs.append(p1)
        # Declare a new process and pass arguments to it
        p2 = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i+10,))
        jobs.append(p2)
        p1.start() # starting workers
        p2.start() # starting workers
