Re: Is print thread safe?

Show all headers | View raw

On Python 3, print is thread safe.

But Python 2 has broken scenario:

print "spam", "spam", "spam"  # thread 1
print "eggs", "eggs", "eggs"  # thread 2

In this case, 2 lines are mixed.

In your case, "spam spam spam" and "eggs eggs eggs" are not mixed.
But newline is mixed like:

spam spam spameggs eggs eggs

eggs eggs eggsspam spam spam
eggs eggs eggs

spam spam spam
