Python Threading Interview Questions

Book excerpt: How well do you know Python threads? The threading module provides thread-based concurrency in Python and few developers know about it, let alone, how to use it well. The main reason is because it is wily thought that Python does not support threads because of the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). This is false. In fact, threads remain the best approach to achieve concurrency for IO-bound tasks. * Do you know how to start a thread? * Do you know how to use mutex locks with Python threads? * Do you know how to identify a race condition? Discover 120 interview questions on Python threading. * Study the questions and answers and improve your skill. * Test yourself to see what you really know, and what you don't. * Select questions to interview developers on a new role.
