python daemon threads tutorial example explained

#python #daemon #threads

# ************************************************************
# Python daemon threads
# ************************************************************

# daemon thread = a thread that runs in the background, not important for program to run
# your program will not wait for daemon threads to complete before exiting
# non-daemon threads cannot normally be killed, stay alive until task is complete
#
# ex. background tasks, garbage collection, waiting for input, long running processes

import threading
import time


def timer():
print()
count = 0
while True:
time.sleep(1)
count += 1
print("logged in for: ", count, "seconds")


x = threading.Thread(target=timer, daemon=True)
x.start()

# x.setDaemon(True)
# print(x.isDaemon())

answer = input("Do you wish to exit?")
