[issue17140] Document multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

After a question from Brandon Rhodes, I noticed that ThreadPool is actually listed in multiprocess.pool.__all__.

So rather than doing anything more dramatic, we should just document the existing multiprocessing feature.

As Richard says, the concurrent.futures Executor already provides a general purpose thread and process pooling model, and when that isn't appropriate, something like asyncio or gevent may actually be a better fit anyway.
