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

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]
>>>
