SimpleThreads

A simple thread pool utility

A simple thread pool for python 2.x+
If you are missing ThreadPoolExecutor in python 2.x, here is a simple thread pool manager.

Installation:

   pip install simplethreads

Usage:

• Define tasks

    def task_a():
        # do something
        pass
        
    def task_b(a,b,c):
        # do something more
        pass
  

• Create a thread pool to schedule your tasks.

    from simplethreads.ThreadPool import ThreadPool
  
    # Create thread pool with nums threads
    pool = ThreadPool(nums)
  
    # Add a task into pool
    pool.process(task_a)
  
    # Pass arguments to task
    pool.process(task_b,1,2,3)
  
    # Cleanup before exit
    # default value of block=True
    # set to false if you dont want to wait till all the tasks are processed 
    # (Tasks will be processed in background though!)
    pool.shutdown(block=False)
