You can use ThreadPoolExecutor by importing it from the concurrent.futures module and then creating an instance of it.

Can you give me an example of using it?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

def task(n):
    return n * n

with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor:
    results = list(executor.map(task, range(10)))
print(results)

The benefits include easier management of threads, improved performance for I/O-bound tasks, and simplified code.
