There are a few times in a codebase I help maintain where we want a thread
pool of all daemon threads. The code we have for this overrides
threadFactory() like so:


class DaemonThreadPool(ThreadPool):
    def threadFactory(self, *args, **kwargs):
        t = threading.Thread(*args, **kwargs)
        t.setDaemon(True)
        return t


How would I do this with your proposed new API?

Josh.
