Yes - I wanted to check if there is interest in the feature before I commit time to write the patch, documentation, tests, etc. (And also I wanted to check if there's a better way to do it.) In any case, thanks for picking up on this. > `disown` might not be the best name - maybe `allow_shutdown` or something. Disown is an admittedly obscure reference to the shell built-in of the same name (https://tinyurl.com/qfn8ao7). The idea is to get the point across that the pool is truly abandoned, and its running futures are left to their own devices. Maybe wait_at_exit would be a clearer name: pool.shutdown(wait=False, wait_at_exit=True) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36780> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
