isDaemon, setDaemon
Synopsis
t
.isDaemon( )t
.setDaemon(daemonic
)
isDaemon
returns True
if
t
is a daemon (i.e., Python can terminate
the whole process even if t
is still
active—such a termination also terminates
t
); otherwise isDaemon
returns False
. Initially,
t
is a daemon if and only if the thread
creating t
is a daemon. You can call
t
.setDaemon
only before
t
.start
: it sets
t
to be a daemon if
daemonic
is true.
