Easy way

[imidoriya]

I haven't tested this and I'm not sure how it would apply to your code (thank you for creating btw), but I was reading further down the thread in the link you posted and there was a post from Dec 2021 on an easier way to do it. Might want to see if this approach works.. make the code a little simpler. Also, it would be nice to allow this to be a decorator on a function.

As additional info for your readme and the reason I tried your method, other libraries use either signals or mutliprocessing. You mention the issue with signals, but my problem with multiprocessing was 1) you lose shared memory in your threads 2) child processes not closing correctly after the parent is killed (via keyboard interrupt). If this works as I hope, it resolves those issues.

Thank you for this update, I will have to look into this further and update the code/read me accordingly. I will update you when I get a chance, it seems promising though.
