How can I use the threading module in Python for advanced tasks?

You can use the threading module to run multiple threads concurrently, which is useful for I/O-bound tasks. What specific advanced tasks do you have in mind?

I want to implement a thread pool for managing multiple tasks efficiently.

You can use the ThreadPoolExecutor from the concurrent.futures module. It simplifies the management of a pool of threads. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for using ThreadPoolExecutor.

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)

This will run the task function for numbers 0 to 9 in parallel.

What if I need to handle exceptions in my threads?

You can use a try-except block within your task function to handle exceptions. Additionally, you can check the results of the futures for any exceptions after execution.
