What happened to thread.start_new_thread in python 3
threading.Thread(target=some_callable_function).start()or if you wish to pass arguments,
threading.Thread(target=some_callable_function, args=(tuple, of, args), kwargs={'dict': 'of', 'keyword': 'args'}, ).start()
Unfortunately there is not a direct equivalent, because Python 3 is meant to be more portable than Python 2 and the _thread interface is seen as too low-level for this purpose.
In Python 3 the best practice is usually to use threading.Thread(target=f...). This uses different semantics, but is preferred because the interface is easier to port to other Python implementations.
