CODE EXAMPLE FOR PYTHON

Threading in python

#Python multithreading example to print current date.
#1. Define a subclass using threading.Thread class.
#2. Instantiate the subclass and trigger the thread.

import threading
import datetime

class myThread (threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, name, counter):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.threadID = counter
        self.name = name
        self.counter = counter
    def run(self):
        print("
Starting " + self.name)
        print_date(self.name, self.counter)
        print("Exiting " + self.name)

def print_date(threadName, counter):
    datefields = []
    today = datetime.date.today()
    datefields.append(today)
    print("{}[{}]: {}".format( threadName, counter, datefields[0] ))

# Create new threads
thread1 = myThread("Thread", 1)
thread2 = myThread("Thread", 2)

# Start new Threads
thread1.start()
thread2.start()

thread1.join()
thread2.join()
print("
Exiting the Program!!!")
