How do I do time.sleep in certain thread in Python?

What are the best resources to learn about threads and processes in Python?

• I'm not just looking for library documentation and some sample code for creating threads. I'd like to gain a clear understanding of what's involved in writing concurrent code in Python and performance considerations. I'd have a good understanding of how to deal with concurrent circumstances, including but not limited to : multiple workers, how Python is typically used to deal with asynchronous data streams, what happens when a thread is created to handle a blocking task like IO or networking and how to get good performance out of it, etc. Is there any comprehensive resource for these kind of questions, or does it mostly need to be pulled from a myriad of blog posts?

  I would start by reading this: http://learn-gevent-socketio.readthedocs.org/en/latest/general_concepts.html And then this (about Python3 co-routins) http://www.dabeaz.com/coroutines/
