[issue3352] Deficiencies in multiprocessing/threading API

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com> added the comment:

is_alive appears to be a potentially expensive check for the
multiprocessing side of things, which is why I'm inclined to leave it as
a method. "if t.is_alive():" actually reads better to me than "if
t.alive:" anyway.
