• It is a light-weight process and they don\u2019t require more memory overhead they are less expensive than processes.<\/li>\n
• A thread has a starting, an execution sequence, and a conclusion. It has an instruction pointer that monitors where inside its context it is currently running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    • It can be pre-interrupted.<\/li>\n
    • It can temporarily be put on hold (also called sleeping) while other threads are running – this is known as yielding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      • The newer threading module included with Python 2.4 provides much more powerful, high-level support for threads than the thread module.<\/li>\n
      • A Python threading module exposes all the methods of the thread module and it will give several extra methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          • threading.activeCount() \u2013 It returns the number of thread objects that are active.<\/li>\n
          • threading.currentThread() \u2212 It returns the number of thread objects in the caller’s thread control.<\/li>\n
          • threading.enumerate() \u2212 It returns a list of all thread objects that are currently active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
