How do I use conditions in threading with Python?

You can use the Condition class from the threading module to manage threads that need to wait for certain conditions.

Can you give me a simple example of how to implement this?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import threading

condition = threading.Condition()

def thread_function():
    with condition:
        print('Thread is waiting for a condition...')
        condition.wait()  # Wait until notified
        print('Thread has been notified!')

thread = threading.Thread(target=thread_function)
thread.start()

# Simulate some work in the main thread
import time
time.sleep(2)

with condition:
    print('Notifying the waiting thread...')
    condition.notify()  # Notify the waiting thread

What does the notify() method do in this context?

The notify() method wakes up one thread that is waiting for the condition. If multiple threads are waiting, one of them is chosen at random.
