thread.start_new_thread(myfunc, "some string", 42)
This should have been
thread.start_new_thread(myfunc, ("some string", 42))
because all the subsequent values after the function-handle/name
get passed into the function when it gets called. As if the
start_new_thread() function was defined as
def start_new_thread(fn, *args, **kwargs):
thread_magic_happens_here()
result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
return more_thread_magic_happens_here(result)
and this should have been
def start_new_thread(fn, args=[], kwargs={}):
thread_magic()
result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
My threading-library usage is a little rusty, so I forgot those
were literal parameters, not args/kwargs that became more
idiomatic in other code authored later.
