Usual way of most OO languages, looks like. I do threading with the web
server (it's all just cgi-bin), so I haven't worried about this too very
much. Anyways, there's a Thread class, you sub-class off it to make your own
thread classes, and then you override its "run" method to put in what you
want to do.
import threading
class my_thread (threading.Thread)
def run(self):
Run some thread code...
There's a bunch of python threading tutorials out there, of course. I
slobbed together a sample in 26 lines which counts for a whiles:
import threading
import time
import random
class A_Thread(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,name):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.setName(name)
def run(self):
for kk in range(0,20):
print self.getName() + " " + str(kk)
time.sleep(int(random.random()*3))
if __name__ == "__main__" :
names=["First","Second","Third", "Fourth", "Fifth", "Sixth"]
for kk in names:
vv = (A_Thread(kk))
vv.start()
