Python’s threading module provides two mechanisms for interthread communication:
- Event
- Condition
Event
An Event object is used to communicate between threads. It has an internal flag that threads can set or clear by using the set() and clear() methods.
Typical working
If thread 1 calls the wait() method, it will wait (block) if the internal flag has not yet been set. Thread 2 will set ...
