Python - run two commands at the same time

Question

I am new to Python and am having trouble with this piece of code:

while true:
   rand = random.choice(number)
   print(rand)             
   enter_word = inp         


        

Answer 1

I want to be able to input words in the console while, at the same time, have random numbers appear in the console.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import random

def print_random(n=10):
    print(random.randrange(n)) # print random number in the range(0, n)

stop = call_repeatedly(1, print_random) # print random number every second
while True:
   word = raw_input("Write something: ") # ask for input until "quit" 
   if word == "quit":
      stop() # stop printing random numbers
      break # quit 

where call_repeatedly() is define here.

call_repeatedly() uses a separate thread to call print_random() function repeatedly.
