Concurrent and Parallel Programming in Python - Threading in Python

This video tutorial introduces threading in Python, using PyCharm as the coding environment. It covers setting up a basic program with functions to calculate the sum of squares and to sleep for a specified time. The tutorial demonstrates running the program sequentially and then introduces concurrency using threading. It explains how to manage threads with join and daemon flags, highlighting the differences in execution and performance.

What is the role of the time module in the context of the discussed program?

How can you measure the execution time of a function in Python?

In what scenarios would you prefer using multiprocessing over threading?

What are the implications of not using the join() method when working with threads?
