.start()
The .start()
method activates and prompts a thread object to be run.
Syntax
thread_object.start()
Each thread_object
can only be run once. Otherwise, a RuntimeError
will be thrown.
Example
import threadingdef do_this():print("Task done!")my_thread = threading.Thread(target=do_this)my_thread.start()
After the .start()
method is invoked against my_thread
, the target
function, do_this()
, will execute and the following will be printed:
Task done!
