Python多线程求和程序

今天写了一个Python的多线程求和程序。满足以下要求：

1、可以设置步长

2、步长可为负

3、支持小数

4、可指定线程数

5、处理各种无效输入

程序如下：

import threading
from math import ceil

result = 0
def sub_sum(start, end, step):
    global result
    sum = float(0)
    temp = start
    while temp < end + step / 1000000:
        sum += temp
        temp += step
    #print("sum from %f to %f by the step %f is %f"\
    #        % (start, end, step, sum))
    result += sum

def thread_sum(start, end, step = 1, num_thread = 1):
    global result

    num_threads = int(num_thread)
    if (num_threads <= 0):
        num_threads = 1
    end = start + int((end - start)/step) * step

    numbers = end - start
    if (numbers < 0 and step > 0) or (numbers > 0 and step < 0):
        print("error in sum: from %f to %f by the step %f is i
