In this example, we analyze the creation of an object of the ThreadPoolExecutor class. We define a view_thread() function that allows us to display the current thread identifier with the threading.get_ident() method.

We define our main function where the executor object is initialized as an instance of the ThreadPoolExecutor class and over this object we execute a new set of threads. Then we obtain the thread has been executed with the threading.current_thread() method.

You can find the following code in the threadPoolConcurrency.py file in concurrency subfolder:

#python 3
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
import threading
import random

def view_thread():
 print("Executing Thread")
 print("Accesing thread : {}".format(threading.get_ident()))
 print("Thread Executed {}".format(threading.current_thread()))

def main():
 executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=3)
 thread1 = executor.submit(view_thread)
 thread1 = executor.submit(view_thread)
 thread3 = executor.submit(view_thread)
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
 main()

We see that the three different values in the script output are three different thread identifiers, and we obtain three distinct daemon threads:
