Do thread die?

[Maurice LING]

Hi,

I just have a simple question about threads. My classes inherits from 
threading.Thread class. I am calling threading.Thread.run() method to 
spawn a few threads to parallel some parts of my program. No thread 
re-use, pooling, joining ... just plainly spawn a thread, run a routine.

So, at the end of run(), what happens to the thread? Just die?

While I am on it, can threading.Thread.run() accept any parameters?

My current implementation may be ugly. I have a class

class myThread(threading.Thread):
     def __init__(self, func):
         self.func = func
         threading.Thread.__init__(self)
     def run(self):
         print '%s function running' % self.func
         self.func()

which is used in

class myClass: #using myThread
     def __init__(self): pass
     def aFunc(self): pass
     def bFunc(self): pass
     def runAll(self):
         myThread(self.aFunc).start()
         myThread(self.bFunc).start()

if __name__=='__main__': myClass().runAll()

Is this a good way?

Thanks and cheers
Maurice
