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
What is wrong with thread.start_new_thread ? At least it supports
function arguments. Your suggested addition would only useful if you
want to start argument-less functions in separate threads, from multiple
places in a module. This is quite special, not general enough to make
the suggested change. You can use this one-liner:
import threading.Thread as thr
thr(target=my_function).start()
But really thread.start_new_thread is better:
import thread.start_new_thread as thr
thr(my_function,arg1,arg2)
Best,
Laci
