class ServerThread(application, threaded=True, **kwargs)

Methods

__init__	This constructor should always be called with keyword arguments.
getName	Return a string used for identification purposes only.
isDaemon	Return whether this thread is a daemon.
is_alive	Return whether the thread is alive.
join	Wait until the thread terminates.
run	Method representing the thread's activity.
setDaemon	Set whether this thread is a daemon.
setName	Set the name string for this thread.
shutdown
start	Start the thread's activity.

__init__(application, threaded=True, **kwargs)

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.

Attributes

daemon	A boolean value indicating whether this thread is a daemon thread.
ident	Thread identifier of this thread or None if it has not been started.
name	A string used for identification purposes only.
native_id	Native integral thread ID of this thread, or None if it has not been started.

run()

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.
