Hello
I am trying to create multiple thread through the below program but I am 
getting an error

#! /usr/bin/python
import os
import subprocess
import thread
import threading
from thread import start_new_thread

def proc(f) :
         com1="ssh -B "
         com2=line.strip('\n')
         com3= " uname -a"
         co=str("ssh -B ")+ str(com2) + str(" uname -a")
         subprocess.call(co,shell=True)
         print "----------------------------"
         return

f = open('/tmp/python/1')
for line in f:
         t=thread.start_new_thread(proc(f),())

You are calling the function f yourself, but what you want here is for the thread to call f once it's running.
So do

t=thread.start_new_thread(proc, (f,)) # Procedure to call and a tuple of args for it.

         t.start()

I don't think the thread has a start method.

f.close()
c = raw_input(" Type anything to quit")


Execution output:

----------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./readfile1.py", line 19, in <module>

TypeError: first arg must be callable

You should probably also consider using the higher-level threading module rather than the lower level thread module.

(Also consider using Python3 instead of Python2.)
