Python: module threading

Call a function after a specified number of seconds: t = Timer(30.0, f, args=[], kwargs={}) t.start() t.cancel() # stop the timer's action if it's still waiting

Functions

BoundedSemaphore(*args, **kwargs)

Condition(*args, **kwargs)

Event(*args, **kwargs)

Lock = allocate_lock(...): allocate_lock() -> lock object (allocate() is an obsolete synonym) Create a new lock object. See LockType.__doc__ for information about locks.

RLock(*args, **kwargs)

Semaphore(*args, **kwargs)

Timer(*args, **kwargs)

_allocate_lock = allocate_lock(...): allocate_lock() -> lock object (allocate() is an obsolete synonym) Create a new lock object. See LockType.__doc__ for information about locks.

_get_ident = get_ident(...): get_ident() -> integer Return a non-zero integer that uniquely identifies the current thread amongst other threads that exist simultaneously. This may be used to identify per-thread resources. Even though on some platforms threads identities may appear to be allocated consecutive numbers starting at 1, this behavior should not be relied upon, and the number should be seen purely as a magic cookie. A thread's identity may be reused for another thread after it exits.

_newname(template='Thread-%d')

_pickSomeNonDaemonThread()

_sleep = sleep(...): sleep(seconds) Delay execution for a given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number for subsecond precision.

_start_new_thread = start_new_thread(...): start_new_thread(function, args[, kwargs]) (start_new() is an obsolete synonym) Start a new thread and return its identifier. The thread will call the function with positional arguments from the tuple args and keyword arguments taken from the optional dictionary kwargs. The thread exits when the function returns; the return value is ignored. The thread will also exit when the function raises an unhandled exception; a stack trace will be printed unless the exception is SystemExit.

_test()

_time = time(...): time() -> floating point number Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch. Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.
