Python Code Example: start threads randomly (start-Keyword)

In the following program the two threads (myFirstThread, mySecondThread) are executed randomly. The result may vary after each run.

from threading import Thread
from time import sleep, perf_counter


def startThread():
    print("Started thread...")
    sleep(2)
    print("Done")


start = perf_counter()

myFirstThread = Thread(target=startThread)
mySecondThread = Thread(target=startThread)

myFirstThread.start()
mySecondThread.start()

end = perf_counter()
time = end - start

print(myFirstThread)
print(mySecondThread)
print("Time: " + str(round(time, 5)) + " seconds")

Output

Started thread...
<Thread(Thread-7, started 123145644072960)>
<Thread(Thread-8, started 123145677651968)>
Time: 0.00685 seconds
