Hi!
I'm looking at the 'threading' module and see that other than the 'thread'
module it doesn't have a simple function to start a new thread. Instead,
you first have to instantiate a threading object and then start the new
thread on it:
t = threading.Thread(target=my_function)
t.start()
What I'm wondering is if following function wouldn't be a good addition to
the threading module:
def start_new_thread(target, ..):
t = Thread(target, ..)
t.start()
return t
Note: I left out the additional parameters for brevity, but they should of
course be forwarded, but the 'target' parameter is not optional as it is
with Thread's constructor.
