Python ThreadPoolExecutor - Context Managers

Using the with statement ensures threads are cleaned up automatically. We cover the initialization and shutdown of the pool, ensuring that system resources are released gracefully even if errors occur.

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - ThreadPoolExecutor vs. asyncio

Threads aren't the only way to handle I/O. We compare ThreadPoolExecutor to asyncio, clarifying when to use pre-emptive threading versus cooperative multitasking for modern apps.

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - concurrent.futures vs. threading

Why use concurrent.futures over the old threading module? We demonstrate the manual boilerplate required by the legacy approach and how the Executor interface abstracts away the messy details.

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - ThreadPoolExecutor vs. ProcessPoolExecutor

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - ThreadPoolExecutor vs. ProcessPoolExecutor

ThreadPoolExecutor isn't for everything. We contrast it with ProcessPoolExecutor, showing why CPU-heavy tasks need processes to bypass the GIL, while threads remain the superior choice for network and file I/O.

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - Thread-Local Data

Sometimes you need "global" variables that are unique to each thread. threading.local() creates thread-specific storage, allowing workers to maintain their own isolated state (like database connections) without interference.

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - Synchronization Primitives

Python ThreadPoolExecutor - Synchronization Primitives

To protect critical sections, we use threading.Lock and RLock. These tools enforce mutual exclusion, acting like a traffic light that ensures only one thread can enter a protected block of code at a time.
