Threading on Python

Question

I am working on a program which logs memory usage on a server. The server has multiple instances running, and the program is logging all.

I am trying to figure out what would be more optimal.

Options:
(Assuming two instances)
1. Single Thread Program, which handles each instance, one by one. Time delay 0.5 seconds.
2. Double Thread, each handling one instance, Time Delay : 1 second.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Both options are perfectly fine. Note that writing a single-threaded program is way easier, so unless you have tight performance requirements or timing constraints, you should forgo threads in favor of faster development and less bugs.
