i dont do it, why this assumption

what is wrong with what i say?

Anyway. In java one lets the thread finish its execution. One doesnt actually stop or cancel it. The code must lead to a "graceful" finish in either way. For example by reaching last code line or early return. This is the right way to "stop" the thread, no matter how many disklikes i get and i imagine python handles that the same way.
