A simple module for creating a background thread and returning a Future object
pip install future-thread==1.0
Creates a thread with Future attributes.
Based on (and actively uses) features from concurrent.futures module to easily start a function in a new background thread without the overhead of using a ThreadPoolExecutor, while still providing a Future style handle around said thread.
Usage:
import time
from future_thread import Future, DeferredFuture
def background():
time.sleep(10)
return True
fut = Future(background)
fut.result() # will block until thread finished
fut = DeferredFuture(background)
# do some other stuff
fut.start()
For more info on the Future object see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.Future
