The thread finishes when:
1.The run method finishes.
2.In case of the loop- you may -
>>> import threading
>>> class abc(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.cont_flag=1
def run(self):
while self.cont_flag:
pass
>>> abcd=abc()
>>> abcd
<abc(Thread-1, initial)>
>>> abcd.start()
>>> abcd
<abc(Thread-1, started)>
>>> abcd.cont_flag=0
>>> abcd
<abc(Thread-1, stopped)>
Also, you may
>>> del abcd
>>> abcd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#29>", line 1, in -toplevel-
abcd
NameError: name 'abcd' is not defined
I am not very sure about the CPU usage of a stopped
thread.Perhaps someone from the group can enlighten
us.
Hope this makes it clear.
Cheers,
