Threads in python are an entity within a process that can be scheduled for execution. In simpler words, a thread is a computation process that is to be performed by a computer. It is a sequence of such instructions within a program that can be executed independently of other codes.

What is thread in Python with example?

A thread is a separate flow of execution. This means that your program will have two things happening at once. But for most Python 3 implementations the different threads do not actually execute at the same time: they merely appear to.

How do threads work in Python?

To start a thread, we use start method of Thread class. Once the threads start, the current program (you can think of it like a main thread) also keeps on executing. In order to stop execution of current program until a thread is complete, we use join method.
