Python Multithreading Till Point 5

The document explains the concept of multithreading in Python, emphasizing that threads are the smallest unit of execution and share the same memory space. It provides examples of creating threads using both functions and classes, and discusses the importance of synchronization to prevent data inconsistency when multiple threads access shared data. Overall, it highlights how multithreading enables concurrent execution of tasks within a program.

Python Multithreading

1. Understanding Threads
A thread is the smallest unit of execution within a program. Multithreading allows a program to run
multiple threads concurrently. Threads share the same memory space, unlike processes. Python
provides the threading module for multithreading.

2. Forking (Creating) Threads in Python


Threads are created using the Thread class from the threading module. Threads can be created
using a function or a class.

Example: Creating Threads Using a Function


import threading
import time

def task():
print("Thread started")
[Link](2)
print("Thread finished")

t1 = [Link](target=task)
t2 = [Link](target=task)

[Link]()
[Link]()

[Link]()
[Link]()

3. Forking Threads Using a Class


Threads can also be created by extending the Thread class and overriding the run() method.

4. Synchronizing Threads
Synchronization is required when multiple threads access shared data. Lock objects are used to
prevent data inconsistency.

5. Programming Using Multithreading


Multithreading programs allow multiple tasks to run at the same time using threads.
