threading example python

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: 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: python threading

def myFunction(x, y):
  pass

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

Example 4: 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)
