(i tried both currentthread , current_thread)

update: fixed error hint mata gave should have imported current_thread() too.

from threading import thread,current_thread 

you haven't imported threading, thread.

either import threading, or import current_thread directly:

1 import queue 2 threading import thread, current_thread 3 4 def do_work(item): 5         try: 6                 print current_thread()
