Anthony Green added the comment:
The following example comes from IRC user ztane:
> import threading, time
>
> main_thread = threading.current_thread()
>
> def foo():
> time.sleep(10)
> print(main_thread.is_alive())
> print(list(threading.enumerate()))

New submission from Anthony Green:
The documentation at
https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.is_alive
relates:
> The module function enumerate() returns a list of all alive threads.
The documentation at
https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.h
