Description: # threadmanager
        A thread manager for Python programs
        
        
        It provides:  
          * Centralization of starting and monitoring threads  
          * State management for the functions in the threads  
          * Logging for exceptions and excessive runtime  
          
        Original use case:  
          * GUI program that calls back-end functions for IO-bound work  
          * GUI has a cancel button that should always work, so:  
            * the GUI mainloop should not be blocked  
            * the called functions should intermittently check if the user has pressed the cancel button  
          * Avoid running new work threads when the user wants to cancel  
          * Allow running callback functions when the program starts working or goes idle.  
            * e.g. update a status bar with certain text  
          
        Installation:  
          * pip install threadmanager
