• how use threading in python? 16 answers

i have python class indefinitely blocking task method

class a(object):    def __init__(self):        # start task     def task(self):        while true:            #do work 

i want start execution of task in constructor of a. need run in own thread task blocking. how in python 2.7?

like mentioned in comments, there's module threading seems fit task. example:

import threading  class a(object):    def __init__(self):        threading.thread(target=self.task).start()     def task(self):        print 'hello thread'  = a()  # output: 'hello thread'
