[CentralOH] Python threads

[Bryan]

Yep Thanks!  It wasn't somehow blocking somewhere as I had
suspected.  :-p  It was doing what I told it to do....

This works as well without the init:


import threading
import time
import random

theVar = 1

class MyThread ( threading.Thread ):
      
   def run ( self ):
      global theVar
      myNumber = theVar
      theVar = theVar + 1
      time.sleep(random.random()*10)
      print 'This is thread ' + str ( myNumber ) + ' speaking.\nHello
and good bye.'      

for x in xrange ( 200 ):
    MyThread().start()
