Threading help...

Hey guys...

I have some code here:

import os
import threading
import urllib
import time

a=0

class launch(threading.Thread):
    def start_now():
        try:
            urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com")
        except:
            a+=1
    start_now()

def end():
    print("\nOut of 10000 requests, "+str(a)+" requests failed.")

for x in range(10001):
    launch().start()
    print("http://www.google.com")

end()
raw_input("<Done>")

This works, in the sense that it goes on and on printing "www.google.com", but the same code a little modified doesn't work:

import os
import threading
import urllib
import time

a=0

class launch(threading.Thread):
    def start_now():
        try:
            print("http://www.google.com")
            urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com")
        except:
            a+=1
    start_now()

def end():
    print("\nOut of 10000 requests, "+str(a)+" requests failed.")

for x in range(10001):
    launch().start()

end()
raw_input("<Done>")

It only prints "http://www.google.com" once and nothing happens! What's the difference in code I posted?

Thanks guys!

Hey, it does nothing because it takes long time to execute 10000 web queries
