Advanced Python Programming

An example in Python

Let's consider a specific example. In this example, we will be looking at the Chapter10/example4.py file. We will go back to the thread example of counting down from five to one, which we looked at at the beginning of this chapter; take a moment to look back if you do not remember the problem. In this example, we will be tweaking the MyThread class, as follows:

# Chapter10/example4.pyimport threadingimport timeclass MyThread(threading.Thread):    def __init__(self, name, delay):        threading.Thread.__init__(self)        self.name = name        self.delay = delay    def run(self):        print('Starting thread %s.' % self.name)        thread_lock.acquire()        thread_count_down(self.name, self.delay)        thread_lock.release() print('Finished thread %s.' % self.name) ...
