Interrupting a thread in Python is a common requirement in multi-threaded programming, where a thread’s execution needs to be terminated under certain conditions. In a multi-threaded program, a task in a new thread, may be required to be stopped. This may be for many reasons, such as − task completion, application shutdown, or other external…

A deadlock may be described as a concurrency failure mode. It is a situation in a program where one or more threads wait for a condition that never occurs. As a result, the threads are unable to progress and the program is stuck or frozen and must be terminated manually. Deadlock situation may arise in…

Inter-Thread Communication refers to the process of enabling communication and synchronization between threads within a Python multi-threaded program. Generally, threads in Python share the same memory space within a process, which allows them to exchange data and coordinate their activities through shared variables, objects, and specialized synchronization mechanisms provided by the threading module. To facilitate inter-thread communication,…
