Hi,
Just curious: import thread
help(thread.sta rt_new_thread)
. . .
start_new_threa d(function, args[, kwargs])
. . .
Second argument is mandatory. Is it incidental or for a reason?

Hi KV,
Here's a site that provides an easy, beginners example of how to do
threading. You might find this useful too... :-) http://www.codesampler.com/python.htm
(Look for the "Spawning Threads" section.)

Thank you, but that doesn't answer my question. I was asking if there
is a reason that "args" is not optional.
Oftentimes functions I use to start_new_threa d have no arguments (they
may get data from bound instance or from closure), but still I have to
pass empty "args", always wondering, why? Python lib generally has a
very nice and convenient interface and tries to supply sensible
defaults when possible. That "args" is a required argument is a
mystery to me :)

A. No.
Q. Is top posting OK?

At the risk of increasing your frustration, I'm going avoid answering
your question as well and simply point out that if you use the
"threading" module, as is recommended, you won't have to deal with this
issue at all, and your code will generally be simpler.
(To answer your real question I'd have to check the docs for "thread"
and, since I _never_ use that module in spite of heavy use of threading,
I can't help you more... sorry.)

On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
happy to announce the release of Python 2.3.1 (final).
Python 2.3.1 is a pure bug fix release of Python 2.3, released in late
July. A number of obscure crash-causing bugs have been fixed, various
memory leaks have been squished, but no new features have been added to
the language or to the library.

Hi there,
I wrote a tcp server which listens on a port. When he gets a new
connection, he starts a new thread like this:
thread.start_new_thread(self.ConnectionHandler, (conn,))
where conn is the socket for the connection.
After I started the server, I can see one running process under Linux,
which is ok. But once I connected to the Server, I always see two
processes where one is the parent of the other. I think this should be

I thought I would share this nasty little gotcha with the group.
Consider the following code fragment:

print 'starting kbd thread'
keyboard_thread = thread.start_new_thread(kbd_driver (port_q,kbd_q))
print 'starting main loop'
error = Mainloop(s,port_q,active_q_list)

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