Multithreading and multiprocessing in Python
Python provides several modules for parallel programming, including multithreading and multiprocessing. These modules allow you to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, which can improve the performance of your programs. Multithreading Multithreading is a technique for running multiple threads (smaller units of a program) simultaneously within a single process. This allows your program to perform multiple tasks at the same time, which can improve its performance. Creating a thread To create a thread in Python, you can use the threading module. Here is an example: import threading #define a function to be executed in the thread def my_function(): print("Hello from a thread!") #create a thread thread = threading.Thread(target=my_function) #start the thread thread.start() In this example, we define a function my_function() that will be executed in a separate thread. We create a thread object by calling the Thread() constructor, passing the function ...
