python - My understanding of threading -

i have not programmed in on year sorry if stupid question. looked lots of examples on site threading seem getting different outcome other people.

from understanding of threading, using simple code, should printing yo , lo together,

yo lo yo lo

but instead

yo yo yo ...

from threading import thread  import time  def printyo():         while(3>1):             print ("yo")             time.sleep(1)  def printlo():         while(3>1):             print ("lo")             time.sleep(1)  t2 = thread(target=printlo()) t = thread(target=printyo()) t2.start() t.start() 

you calling function instead of giving target thread.

t2 = thread(target=printlo) t = thread(target=printyo)
