[issue10444] A mechanism is needed to override waiting for Python threads to finish

[Michael Hughes]

New submission from Michael Hughes <michaelahughes at gmail.com>:

We use the Python interpreter embedded in our application, and would prefer to not block an exit of our application waiting for non-daemon threads to finish.

I would like a mechanism exposed that queries for whether or not to wait.
