When spawning a thread using the threading module syntax new_thread = threading.Thread(target=function_returning_a_list) How can i get the list that this function is supposed to return.

Here is an example of how to indirectly do it: >>> import threading >>> def foo(result): ... [result.append(i) for i in range(4)] ... >>> result = list() >>> thread = threading.Thread(target=foo, args=(result,)) >>> thread.start() >>> result [0, 1, 2, 3] >>>
