New submission from Antoine Pitrou:
People are generally not aware of the properties of daemon threads.
I suggest to add a note such as the following:
« Daemon threads are abruptly stopped at shutdown. Their resources (such as
open files, database transactions, etc.) may not be released
Tim Golden added the comment:
+1 This is essentially the answer to the naive user's question:
Why would anyone *not* use daemon threads given that they're less
hassle to manage?
