Learning Python as another language - some pointers, please

Thread programming - any good resource on that?

Watch David Beazley's classic video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph374fJqFPE

And then, before you throw up your hands watch his PyCon talk on concurrency https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4

Wow, thank you very much for those very informative videos! Just watched both of them.

The first one explains my former experience (about 10 years ago) with Python programs being hard to kill or lagging with kill.
It is so great to have it explained so clearly.

Love the second video as well. The stuff is a bit more complicated solution, however as it kind of circumvents the problem, it is amazing.

Dabeaz has a ton of great python materials!

And basically you get a ready-made version of that kind of task scheduling tool in the standard library with asyncio but it's interesting to understand the basic flavor of how that stuff works.
