Description

Stop all running threads. The wait parameter determines if the method call will return right away or wait for the threads to exit.

When the Sketch shuts down, stop_all_threads(wait=False) is called for you. If you would rather the Sketch waited for threads to exit, create an exiting method and make a call to stop_all_threads(wait=True).

Syntax

stop_all_threads(wait: bool = False) -> None

Parameters

  • wait: bool = False - wait for thread to exit before returning
