• _(f) → create a callable that ignores all its parameters, and invokes the callable given as an argument.

Sample

How to call functions from a different thread, still accessing the UI:

@ui_thread
@action
def update_failed_count(job, successful: bool) -> None:
    # ...

@ui_thread
@action
def update_results(job, result) -> None:
    # ...

class JobMonitorThread(threading.Thread):
    def run(self) -> None:
        try:
            # do something
        except Exception:
            update_failed_count(job, False)
        else:
            update_results(job, ...)

        time.sleep(10)
