Are you familiar with threading in Java and looking for a crash course in Python? If the answer is yes, I just found an article written by Peyton McCullough that may help you. The “Basic Threading in Python” article can take you from no clue to writing your threaded Python code in a few minutes. See the example below, extracted from his article, to see if that rings a bell :D

import threading

class MyThread ( threading.Thread ):

   def run ( self ):

      print 'You called my start method, yeah.'
      print 'Were you expecting something amazing?'

MyThread().start()
