class Thread(group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs=None, *, daemon=None)

Bases: Thread

This constructor should always be called with keyword arguments. Arguments are:

group should be None; reserved for future extension when a ThreadGroup class is implemented.

target is the callable object to be invoked by the run() method. Defaults to None, meaning nothing is called.

name is the thread name. By default, a unique name is constructed of the form “Thread-N” where N is a small decimal number.

args is a list or tuple of arguments for the target invocation. Defaults to ().

kwargs is a dictionary of keyword arguments for the target invocation. Defaults to {}.

If a subclass overrides the constructor, it must make sure to invoke the base class constructor (Thread.__init__()) before doing anything else to the thread.

raise_exc(exctype)

raises the given exception type in the context of this thread

terminate()

raises SystemExit in the context of the given thread, which should cause the thread to exit silently (unless caught)
