Is it possible to run threads in while loop-CodePudding

I am trying to run a thread in while loop but I am getting the error RuntimeError: threads can only be started once kindly suggest a way to fix this

import sys
import threading
import time

import keyboard


def hd():
    time.sleep(1)
    print("hello")


cc = threading.Thread(target=hd)

while True:
    time.sleep(3)
    if keyboard.is_pressed("q"):
        print("Q is pressed")
        sys.exit()
    else:
        if not cc.is_alive():
            cc.start()

CodePudding user response：

Check this post out: link. It provides some good insight into your question.

Threads are basically destroyed after they have completed. Editing your else statement to something like this might accomplish the task at hand:

if not cc.is_alive():
        cc = threading.Thread(target=hd)
        cc.start()
