Rajesh,
The `printer` function loops till the output_queue is empty. The printer
thread is done processing when this condition hits. Once this condition is
hit, items are no longer fetches from the output_queue. However, the
`printer` does not wait _until_ every item from the input_queue has made it
to the output_queue. The q.join() at the end waits for all items to be
fetched from both queues. So, on the off-chance that the printer hit its
condition prematurely at some point, but workers kept pushing more items
into the output_queue, the program would wait on the join().
In executions, you'd see that not all elements are printed from the
output_queue.
As a test, I replaced the check in the printer to process till all elements
are fetched (using count). This ensures that `printer` runs till every
element is pulled out of the output_queue. With this change, it doesn't
seem to hang.
Can you try with the following diff:
