Description: # threadmanager
        A thread manager for Python programs
        
        ##### Current state:  under heavy development (alpha)
        
        
        It provides:  
          * Centralization of starting and monitoring threads
          * State management for the functions in the threads
          * Logging for exceptions and excessive runtime
        
        Original use case:  
          * GUI program that calls back-end functions for IO-bound work
          * GUI has a cancel button that should always work, so:
            * the GUI mainloop should not be blocked
            * the called functions should intermittently check if the user has pressed the cancel button
          * Avoid running new work threads when the user wants to cancel
          * Allow running callback functions when the program starts working or goes idle.
            * e.g. update a status bar with certain text
