Use threads with return values
Project description
# threadedreturn
`threadedreturn` is a Python package that provides a simple extension to the built-in `Thread` class in the `threading` module. The `ThreadWithReturnValue` class in this package allows you to create threads with return values.
## Installation
You can install `threadedreturn` using `pip`:
```bash
pip install threadedreturn
```
## Usage
### ThreadWithReturnValue
`ThreadWithReturnValue` is a subclass of `Thread` that enables you to retrieve the return value of a function or method running in a separate thread.
#### Example
```python
from threadedreturn import ThreadWithReturnValue
# Define a function to be executed in a separate thread
def my_function(arg1, arg2):
# Some time-consuming task
result = arg1 + arg2
return result
# Create a ThreadWithReturnValue instance
thread = ThreadWithReturnValue(target=my_function, args=(3, 5))
# Start the thread
thread.start()
# Wait for the thread to finish and retrieve the return value
result = thread.join()
print("Result:", result)
```
