Ask HN: Is this a Python bug?
The run method below never executes in Python 3.5:
from threading import Thread
import time
class MyThread(Thread):
def __init__(self):
Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
while True:
print("Forever")
time.sleep(10)
return
yield from None
mt = MyThread()
mt.start()
mt.join()

1. `while True` has no break condition and that intentional but `mt.join()` basically waits till all threads are completed? are you looking thread that keeps on running? i suggest look at daemon thread? if yes, check this https://pymotw.com/2/threading/#daemon-vs-non-daemon-threads
2. `return` & `yield from None` are not required! I had commented those lines, also 'from' is a reserved keyword
