threading - thread isn't executing-CodePudding

I'm learning threading in Python and tried to create a threading program as shown below

def main():
    print('Hello world!')

if __name__ == "__main__"
    thread1 = threading.Thread(target=main)

However when changing the target=main(), it executes but some parts of my code don't work then What am I doing wrong?

CodePudding user response：

You created a variable thread1 the thread which prepares the thread(clarification needed, am not sure exactly) to execute the function main(). To execute it just run thread1.start() and done!

CodePudding user response：

Just add thread1.start() and your thread should execute! (If you need to pass arguments to the target function, add args=(your, arguments, here))
