As "threading" is built on top of "thread", that statement seems wrong,
but the real question you should ask yourself is why you want to use the
Hi,
Thanks for the code sample. I will try it out. I guess there is no
reliable way to get away with just the "threads" module.
Thanks,

I'm no threads expert, but if you use the higher-level "threading"
module, you could try something like this:
import threading
import time
def countToTen():
for i in range(1,11):
print i
time.sleep(0.5)
child = threading.Thread(target=countToTen)
class ma

use a lock. the subthread allocates the lock and releases it after
processing.
the main thread must wait until the lock is released. otherwiese, u
Hi,
I have used the low-level thread module to write a multi-threaded app.
tid = thread.start_new_thread(process, ())
tid is an integer thread ident.
the thread takes around 10 seconds to finish processing. Meanwhile the
main thread finished execution and exits. This causes an error because
