This is a documentation bug: Since #1856  is not solved for Python2, it needs to be documented.

Daemon Threads on Python2 can seg fault.

@Thomas can you provide a patch for this issue?

What kind of patch do you want? Documentation patch or fixing the bug in the interpreter?

I am not a native speaker, that's why I avoid documentation patches.

For me, the issue is solved. It is documented in stackoverflow and here.

Since Python2 will be gone sooner or later, I don't want to invest hours into fixing this at interpreter level.

Should I close the issue?
