import threading


class BuckysThread(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
        for _ in range(10):
            print(threading.currentThread().getName())

# you can give each thread a name property by default
x = BuckysThread(name='Sending out messages')  
y = BuckysThread(name='Listening for messages')
x.start()  # creates a thread and calls run()
y.start()  # right after it starts x, it moves on to something else
