Python: run a class method that takes an argument in a new thread

Question

I am trying to do the same thing as in this question: Run Class methods in threads (python), but the class method I want to invoke in a separate thread takes an extra argument, apart from self. A.Rodas's solution does not work: if I try Thread(target=self.class_method, args=(self, arg2)).start(), it says I have 3 arguments instead of 2, while if try args=(arg2), it is breaking my arg2 string into constituent elements and saying 334234 arguments! Any ideas? Thanks

You should do it like this:

threading.Thread(target=self.class_method, args=(arg2,)).start()
