Can't get simple Python threading to work

Question

I am new to threading (though not a beginner in Python) and I am having trouble making a thread work. I have the following simpl(est) program, but I cannot seem to get the function do_something() called. I must be doing something very basic wrong. Can anyone tell me what? Thanks a ton!

import threading

def do_something():
    print 'Function called...'

t = threading.Thread(target=do_something)

---

Of course, I had unwittingly previously deleted the t.start() instruction (Damn you Synaptic touchpad!!!!!!)

Answer 1

You should start the thread:

import threading

def do_something():
    print 'Function called...'

t = threading.Thread(target=do_something)
t.start() # you forgot this line

Answer 2

您需要启动线程：

t.start()
