Check out the docs for the Thread object:
http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#thread-objects The
first argument is the thread group, so you're setting the thread group
for your threads with the results of methodA and methodB. Since
you're calling methodA and methodB to create arguments for Thread,
they're run in the main thread.
What you want to do is set the target of the Thread to the function or
method you want invoked on the new thread, and then call start. For
example, the code below calls add on an ArrayList on a separate
thread:
Jython 2.5.0+ (trunk:6503:6505M, Jul 8 2009, 18:36:14)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Apple Inc.)] on java1.6.0_13
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from threading import Thread
>>> from java.util import ArrayList
>>> l = ArrayList()
>>> Thread(target=l.add, args=(5,)).start()
>>> l
[5]
The args keyword arg is a tuple of positional arguments to pass to the
target method.
With your examples, you'd want to do
Thread(target=JavaClassA.methodA).start() and
Thread(target=JavaClassB.methodB).start().
Hope this helps,
Charlie
