clockblocks.utilities.fork_unsynchronized(process_function: Callable, args: Sequence = (), kwargs: Optional[dict] = None) → None

Spawns a parallel process, but as an asynchronous thread, not on a child clock. However, this will make use of the ThreadPool of the currently active clock, so it’s quicker to spawn than creating a new Thread.

Parameters:

• process_function – the process to be spawned

• args – arguments for that function

• kwargs – keyword arguments for that function
