Basics of Python Multithreaded Programming

Multithreading in Python is a powerful technique that allows your programs to run multiple threads (smaller units of a process) concurrently. This is especially useful for I/O-bound tasks where executing operations in parallel can lead to significant performance improvements. Understanding Threads A thread is a separate flow of execution that runs within the context of a process. Multithreading enables efficient computation, particularly in applications with a lot of wait times due to I/O operations, such as network requests or file reading/writing.
