python threading模块

python程序：

#!/usr/bin/python

import threading
from time import ctime, sleep

loops = [2,4,3]

def loop(loop_num,sleep_time):
    print 'start loop',loop_num,'at:',ctime()
    sleep(sleep_time)
    print 'done loop',loop_num,'at',ctime()

def sum_num():
    a = 2
    b =3
    print a+b

def main():
    print 'start time',ctime()
    threads = []
    lens = range(len(loops))
    for i in lens:
        if i <= len(loops)-2:
            t = threading.Thread(target=loop,args=(i, loops[i]))
            threads.append(t)
        else:
            t = threading.Thread(target=sum_num,args=())
            threads.append(t)
    for i in lens:
        threads[i].start()
    for i in lens:
        threads[i].join()

    print 'done all at',ctime()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

threading和thread模块的区别（个人理解）：
threading不用具体到加锁，释放锁，join方法等价于对锁的管理。
