Multithreading in Python

Python has an API that allow us to write applications with multiple threads. To get started with multithreading, we are going to create a new thread inside a python class and call it ThreadWorker.py. This class extends from threading.Thread and contains the code to manage one thread:

import threadingclass ThreadWorker(threading.Thread):    # Our workers constructor    def __init__(self):        super(ThreadWorker, self).__init__()    def run(self):        for i in range(10):           print(i)

Now that we have our thread worker class, we can start to work on our main class. Create a new python file, call it main.py, and put the following code in:

import threadingfrom ThreadWorker import ThreadWorkerdef main(): # This initializes ''thread'' as an ...
