#Python's thread creation

A thread is the smallest unit of execution that can be scheduled by the operating system. It represents an independent control flow within a process. A single process can contain multiple threads, which share the same memory and resources, but each has its own execution path.

In Python, you can create threads using the Thread class from the threading module:

t = Thread(target=entry_function, args=argument_list)

Example:

from threading import Thread, get_ident
import time

# Entry function for the thread
def worker(name):
    for _ in range(3):
        print(f'{get_ident()}: My name is {name}')
        time.sleep(1)                           # Thread sleeps for 1 second

t1 = Thread(target=worker, args=('worker1',))   # Create thread
t2 = Thread(target=worker, args=('worker2',)) 
t1.start()                                      # Start thread
t2.start()
t1.join()                                       # Wait for thread to finish
t2.join()

Output:

116776: My name is worker1
116616: My name is worker2
116776: My name is worker1
116616: My name is worker2
116776: My name is worker1
116616: My name is worker2
