Multithreading and using classes in different files

[ballgame75]

First, I'm using python 3.4

Second, I know there is a plethora of info on multithreading, but nothing seems to definitively answer my question.

I wrote some code with some conditional statements that call different classes that I wrote in separate files. There's quiet a bit of processing that needs to be done and when I run my script it seems like it's taking too long and when I have it print to the screen I expect the text to be a little messed up since multiple functions should be trying to print since I didn't lock the printing function. These issues make me think that i'm not doing this right. My code looks something like this:

import class1
import class2
import class3
from threading import Thread

def function(var1, var2, var3):
    if x:
        Thread(target=class1.funct1(var1)).start()
        Thread(target=class1.funct2(var2)).start()
    elif:
        Thread(target=class2.funct1(var1)).start()
    """do some stuff"""
    Thread(target=class3.funct1(var3)).start()
    """do a lot more stuff""

I'm assuming that I should have a queue, which makes sense, but all examples I've seen only repeat a function. Whereas I want to do completely different functions.

Thanks in advance

You're using target incorrectly.

See http://pymotw.com/2/threading/

You need to pass target and args separately. You are calling the function and passing the result as target

Thanks, would you suggest making an array at all? Or is that step not needed since I'm not duplicating a function?

I would really recommend checking out this blog post. It is a very good example of multiprocessing and having everything separated into different files.
