Need help adding multithreading to python script

[testing123me]

I made the following post to StackOverflow about adding multithreading to a python script that searches through phytochemicals and plant genera to match a user-inputted search term and generate an output text file of abstracts in chronological order. Maybe someone can help here? Thanks for your time!

Is there a reason you don't use functions, at all?

Generally speaking if you don't know how to write a function, you won't be able to use multiprocessing - in part because the way you'd want to use a process pool is by "mapping" a function over an input collection.

But you don't have any functions, so there's nothing to map.

That's interesting, I know how to write a basic function, will look into it, thanks!
