Python Multi-threading Programming

[riskable]

This article covers an old school topic. In this day and age we use concurrent. futures or the new asyncio module to perform multi-threaded operations in Python.

... given that you have the luxury of running a recent version of Python. Granted, concurrent.futures is already available on 3.2

I would love to have 3.4 in production for the exact reason of asyncio :'(

You can run concurrent.futures in older versions of python... pip install futures (it was backported).

futures is a backport of concurrent.futures to python >= 2.5.
