multithreading - what is the plan for Threadgroup in python

Question

I was taking a look at the threading library for python3 and was wondering what the group parameter was supposed to do. i know its just a placeholder. but what would it do where it implemented.

Answer 1

I believe that it relates to the Java ThreadGroup class concept, as the python multithreading module design was inspired by the Java thread-related classes. The Java ThreadGroup class basically represents a set of threads, allowing a thread to access information about its own thread group, but not any other thread groups.
