In most modern processor systems, the use of multithreading is commonplace. With CPUs coming with more than one core and technologies such as hyper-threading, which allows a single core to run multiple threads at the same time, application developers do not waste a single chance to exploit the advantages provided by these technologies.
Python as a programming language supports the implementation of multithreading through the use of a threading module that allows developers to exploit thread-level parallelism in the application.
The following example showcases how a simple program can be built using the threading module in Python:
# simple_multithreading.pyimport threadingclass SimpleThread(threading.Thread): ...
