Pausing and resuming the script part 2

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

So I want to make a loop that user can stop and resume from, so from the previous question, I implemented the multithreading, but something happens that I have no idea how to fix, so my script comes with a code 0 but when I run it, it just opens and closes immediately.

What I have tried:

Python

import os
import shutil
import requests
import PIL
import threading
from threading import *
import time
import pathlib
import sys
from PIL import Image

 class thread1(Thread):
 def thread():
     .....
  
  def repeat2():
     .....

  while True:
   repeat2()
   t1.start()
   time.sleep(30)

class thread2(Thread):
 def thread():
  print(" ")
  print("Info will now update every 30 seconds (if you want to stop this, type stop)")
  if input() == "stop":
    print ("\nstoping...")
    time.sleep(2)
    print ("Stopped successfully, you can resume by typing resume")
    time.sleep(999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999)
    if input() == "resume":
      print("\nResuming...")
      time.sleep(2)

t1 = thread1()
t2 = thread2()

t1.start()
t2.start()

That is because your subclaases of Thread do not do anything. See threading — Thread-based parallelism — Python 3.11.5 documentation[^], for the correct way of implementing this.

Your class should be something along the lines of:

Python

class  thread1(Thread):
    def run(self):
        while True:
            print('running ...')
            time.sleep(2)
            if input('continue? ') == 'n':
                break;

t1 = thread1()
t1.start()

And must include the overload of the run method.
