import threading

---

Threading allows you to do simultaneous tasks run concurrently (parallel).

Basic:

def sleeper(n, name):
    print('Hi I am {}. I am going to sleep for {} seconds\n'.format(name, n))
    time.sleep(n)
    print('{} has woken up from sleep\n'.format(name))


t = threading.Thread(target=sleeper, name='thread1', args=(5, 'thread1'))
t.start()
# t.join() # this prevents the script to contiune until the  task is completed {: id="t.join()-#-this-prevents-the-script-to-contiune-until-the--task-is-completed" }

# Without t.join(), despite t not finishing the sleeper task, the rest of the program can run. {: id="without-t.join(),-despite-t-not-finishing-the-sleeper-task,-the-rest-of-the-program-can-run." }
print('hello')
print('hello')
