Python Thread - start method

Method Name:

start()

Method Overview:

Starts a python thread.
A thread is started after some fractional delta time, as the thread needs to be initialised
before it is executed in the operating system context.

Exceptions:

When start() method is called more than once, will raise a RunTimeError.
If required, create another instance of the child thread again start that thread.

Example:

import random

from threading import Thread

# A function that generates count times random numbers between 1 to 100

# This function will be run as a child thread

def RandomNumberGenerator(Count):

print("%d Random numbers between and 100"%(Count))

for i in range(0,Count):

print(random.randint(1, 100))

#Create Random Number Generator Thread

RandomNumberThread = Thread(target=RandomNumberGenerator(10))

#Start the Random Number Thread

RandomNumberThread.start()

RandomNumberThread.join()
