python - How do I multithread this function? What's wrong with my current syntax? -

my current, single threaded call function looks this:

deepdream(net, frame, end=layersloop[frame_i % len(layersloop)],iter_n = 5) 

which works fine single-threaded.

but want make multithreaded. right have code looks this:

if threading.activecount()>10:     frame = deepdream(net, frame, end=layersloop[frame_i % len(layersloop)],iter_n = 5) else:     t = threading.thread(target=deepdream, args=(frame,end=layersloop[frame_i % len(layersloop)],iter_n = 5)))     threads.append(t)     t.start() 

which makes stay less 10 threads. (so if thread count greater 10, single thread call. if it's less 10 active threads, single threaded call.

but reason, error:

file "3_dreaming_time.py", line 142 t = threading.thread(target=deepdream, args=(frame,end=layersloop[frame_i % len(layersloop)],iter_n = 5)))                                                       ^ syntaxerror: invalid syntax 

i'm new python , don't understand what's wrong syntax. help?

ps. want variable frame equal return of deepdream function. in singlethread.

you're passing keyword arguments threading.thread() target invocation incorrectly. try instead:

t = threading.thread(target=deepdream,                       args=(frame,),                       kwargs=dict(end=layersloop[frame_i % len(layersloop)],                                  iter_n=5))
