What are the best practices for multithreading in Python?

Some best practices include using the threading module, avoiding global variables, and using thread pools.

Can you explain why avoiding global variables is important?

Avoiding global variables helps prevent race conditions and makes your code easier to debug and maintain.

What is a thread pool and how do I use it?

A thread pool is a collection of pre-initialized threads that can be reused for executing tasks. You can use concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor to manage a pool of threads.

Are there any specific libraries you recommend for multithreading?

Yes, besides the built-in threading module, you can also use concurrent.futures and multiprocessing for more complex tasks.
