So i need to make the list a global variable
It could be but that is not necessary. The list is simply a variable
known to the program unit that creates the threading.Thread(...) instance.

Dear List.
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.
Thanks
James

Hello James,
There is no direct way to do what you want. 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]
