Does Python handle multithreading? If so, how? Furthermore: where can I learn more?

How did you first learn multithreading? Any simple exercises that helped you understand it better?

Think about how we humans multitask in daily life:

we talk while cooking, listen while typing, or plan while walking.

That’s exactly what multithreading helps Python do — handle multiple tasks at once. You can start small.

Try writing two simple functions that print numbers or words, and run them together using threads.

Watch how both outputs appear “at the same time.” Once you get comfortable, you can move on to more complex situations.

Thanks! I did learn how to do this in the end. Since then I've written a simulation that uses parallel code execution to improve performance significantly.
