import os
import threading
We use os.getpid() function to get ID of current process.
print("ID of process running main program: {}".format(os.getpid()))
print name of main thread
print("Main thread name: {}".format(threading.main_thread().name))

create two new threads
t1 = Thread(target=task)

start the threads
t1.start()
t2.start()
wait for the threads to complete
t1.join()
t2.join()

print(f'It took {end_time- start_time: 0.2f} second(s) to complete.')
