threading functions & decorators

threaders

threaders is a small module to help write
clean threaded code using threading decorators
and minimize repeating copy-paste actions.

Install

Install and update using pip:

pip install -U threaders

Usage

from threaders import threaders
import time


@threaders.threader()
def function_to_be_threaded(x):
    """ :rtype: Thread """
    t = time.time()
    time.sleep(0.5*(x+0.1)/5+0.05)
    return time.time()-t


def main():
    # create threads
    threads = []
    for i in range(10):
        threads.append(function_to_be_threaded(i))

    # get first result
    print(threaders.get_first_result(threads))

    # kill threads
    t = time.time()

    for thread in threads:
        thread.join()
    print("all threads terminated: {}".format(time.time()-t))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Example with a thread pool:

from random import randrange
from time import sleep
import threading


delays = [randrange(1, 3) for i in range(50)]
print_lock = threading.Lock()


def wait_delay(i, d):
    with print_lock:
        print('{} sleeping for ({})sec'.format(i, d))
    sleep(d)


pool = threaders.ThreadPool(10)
for i, d in enumerate(delays):
    pool.put(wait_delay, i, d)
pool.join()
