python thread not joining
without join:
+---+---+------------------ main-thread

+.................................. child-thread(long)
with join
+---+---+------------------***********+### main-thread
| | |
| +...........join() | child-thread(short)
+......................join()...... child-thread(long)
with join and daemon thread
+-+--+---+------------------***********+### parent-thread
| | | |
| | +...........join() | child-thread(short)
| +......................join()...... child-thread(long)
+,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, child-thread(long + daemonized)
'-' main-thread/parent-thread/main-program execution
'.' child-thread execution
'#' optional parent-thread execution after join()-blocked parent-thread could
continue
'*' main-thread 'sleeping' in join-method, waiting for child-thread to finish
',' daemonized thread - 'ignores' lifetime of other threads;
terminates when main-programs exits; is normally meant for
join-independent tasks
