Methods

• __init__(self, **kwds)

  Passes the thread constructor a name for the thread.

  Naming threads makes debugging less impossible. The thread is set to be a daemon thread, which means that if is the only remaining executing thread the program will terminate.

• abort(self)

  should the algorithm stop computing?

• cancel(self, timeout = None)

  Signals to the worker thread that it should stop computing.

  Calling this method before the thread is started generates an exception.

• perform_work(self, callable, *args, **kwds)

  Indicates to the thread the method or function and it's arguments.

  When the thread begins to run it will execute 'callable' and pass it 'args' and 'kwds'

• run(self)

  Private method - used only by the threading.Thread module.

  Users signal a thread should start to run by calling start().
