Hello,
I am just starting to play threading in python, here is a really
interesting problem I am very curious about:
"
import thread
def main():
thread.start_ne w(test.())
def test():
print 'hello'
main()
"
this program doesn't print out 'hello' as it is supposed to do.
while if I change main() into :
"
def main():
while 1:
thread.start_ne w(test.())
"
It goes on to print 'hello' forever.
while if I use:
"
def main():
for i in range(5):
print i
thread.start_ne w(test.())
"
It prints out 1,2,3,4,5 in main(), but still doesn't print out anything
from test()!
This is really wierd behavior for me, I am sure it's just something
simple&stupid, please enlighten me!
Thanks,

thread is a low-level threading module, and start_new is deprecated.
Aside from that, thread.start_ne w(test.()) is syntaxically wrong (a
pair of brackets can't follow a dot). However, your example does work
for me once I fix the syntax, and it prints hello but then hangs. I
can't explain the other results, though - possibly undefined behaviour
or more likely me not having much experience with the low-level thread
interface.
Use threading instead, like so:
import threading
def test():
print 'Test successful!'
def main():
thread = threading.Threa d(target = test)
thread.start()
main()
Thanks Sam,
That was a stupid typo ( yeah, I actually typed it in :), it should be
(test,()).
I am using python 2.4.1 in ubuntu. I do aware that threading.Threa d is
prefered,
but I did not realize thread is deprecated. It is still a mysterious
behavior anyhow. :)
Qun Cao: import thread def main(): thread.start_ne w(test.())
def test(): print 'hello'
main() " this program doesn't print out 'hello' as it is supposed to do. while if I change main()
The program has exited before the thread has managed to run. It is
undefined behaviour whether secondary threads survive main thread
termination but it looks like they don't on your system.
Use the threading module and call join to wait for all threads to
complete before exiting the program.
Neil
Thanks Neil, that's very useful to know.

[Qun Cao] import thread def main(): thread.start_ne w(test.())

[Neil Hodgson] The program has exited before the thread has managed to run. It is undefined behaviour whether secondary threads survive main thread termination but it looks like they don't on your system.
In fact, they don't on most systems.
Use the threading module and call join to wait for all threads to complete before exiting the program.
That's a different story: threads from the `thread` module have
entirely OS-specific behavior when Python shuts down. Python knows a
lot more about threads from the newer `threading` module, & uses an
atexit() hook to ensure that the Python interpreter does _not_ go away
while a threading.Threa d is still running(*). IOW, Python does the
join() for you for threading.Threa d threads -- there's no need to do
it yourself.
(*) Unless you explicitly mark it as a daemon thread.

First, delete the dot after "test".
Second, is possibly that the Main() finishes before you can see the
print out of test(). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

As far as I know python's threading module models after Java's.
However, I can't find something equivalent to Java's interrupt and
isInterrupted methods, along with InterruptedException.
"somethread.interrupt()" will wake somethread up when it's in
sleeping/waiting state.
Is there any way of doing this with python's thread? I suppose thread
interrupt is a very primitive functionality for stopping a blocked
thread.

OK, here's a wierd one... I have a listbox, which I fill with strings (in my

list box in the loop. I put lb.BeginUpdate before the start of the loop, and
lb.EndUpdate at the conclusion of the loop.
Here's the wierd part: If there is only ONE line loaded into the list box,
the list box SHOWS UP AS BLANK! It says there is 1 item in the box, but it

This is driving me crazy and I really hope I can get an answer...
Take a look at the piece of code below (I'm using .net 2.0):

double pointValue = Convert.ToDouble(point.value);

We are experiencing some wierd debugging behavior. What happens is
that, during debugging with VS 2003, the debugger seems to 'skip'

I can be single-stepping through a VB.NET program, and once I hit a DB

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
