Functions


Condition(*args, **kwargs)
no doc string
Event(*args, **kwargs)
no doc string
allocate_lock(no arg info)
allocate_lock() -> lock object
(allocate() is an obsolete synonym)
Create a new lock object.  See LockType.__doc__ for information about locks.
RLock(*args, **kwargs)
no doc string
Semaphore(*args, **kwargs)
no doc string
allocate_lock(no arg info)
allocate_lock() -> lock object
(allocate() is an obsolete synonym)
Create a new lock object.  See LockType.__doc__ for information about locks.
get_ident(no arg info)
get_ident() -> integer
Return a non-zero integer that uniquely identifies the current thread
amongst other threads that exist simultaneously.
This may be used to identify per-thread resources.
Even though on some platforms threads identities may appear to be
allocated consecutive numbers starting at 1, this behavior should not
be relied upon, and the number should be seen purely as a magic cookie.
A thread's identity may be reused for another thread after it exits.
_newname(template='Thread-%d')
# Helper to generate new thread names
_pickSomeNonDaemonThread()
no doc string
sleep(no arg info)
sleep(seconds)
Delay execution for a given number of seconds.  The argument may be
a floating point number for subsecond precision.
start_new_thread(no arg info)
start_new_thread(functon, args[, kwargs])
(start_new() is an obsolete synonym)
Start a new thread.  The thread will call the function with positional
arguments from the tuple args and keyword arguments taken from the optional
dictionary kwargs.  The thread exits when the function returns; the return
value is ignored.  The thread will also exit when the function raises an
unhandled exception; a stack trace will be printed unless the exception is
SystemExit.
_test()
# Self-test code
time(no arg info)
time() -> floating point number
Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch.
Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.
activeCount()
no doc string
currentThread()
# Global API functions
enumerate()
no doc string
