A thread manager for Python programs

# threadmanager A thread manager for Python programs

##### Current state: under heavy development (alpha)

It provides:

• Centralization of starting and monitoring threads

• State management for the functions in the threads

• Logging for exceptions and excessive runtime

Original use case:

• GUI program that calls back-end functions for IO-bound work

• GUI has a cancel button that should always work, so: * the GUI mainloop should not be blocked * the called functions should intermittently check if the user has pressed the cancel button

• Avoid running new work threads when the user wants to cancel

• Allow running callback functions when the program starts working or goes idle. * e.g. update a status bar with certain text
