multithreading - Python class instance starts method in new thread -

i spent last hour(s???) looking/googling way have class start 1 of methods in new thread instanciated.

i run this:

x = myclass()  def updater():     while true:         x.update()         sleep(0.01)  update_thread = thread(target=updater)  update_thread.daemon = true update_thread.start() 

a more elegant way have class doing in init when instanciated. imagine having 10 instances of class... until couldn't find (working) solution problem... actual class timer , method update method updates counter's variables. class has run functions @ given time important time updates won't blocked main thread.

any appreciated. thx in advance...

you can subclass directly thread in specific case

from threading import thread  class myclass(thread):     def __init__(self, other, arguments, here):         super(myclass, self).__init__()         self.daemon = true         self.cancelled = false         # other initialization here      def run(self):         """overloaded thread.run, runs update          method once per every 10 milliseconds."""          while not self.cancelled:             self.update()             sleep(0.01)      def cancel(self):         """end timer thread"""         self.cancelled = true      def update(self):         """update counters"""         pass  my_class_instance = myclass()  # explicit start better implicit start in constructor my_class_instance.start()  # can kill thread my_class_instance.cancel()
