[issue18591] threading.Thread.run returning a result

[Berker Peksag]

Berker Peksag added the comment:

What is your use case? I think this can easily be implemented by subclassing the threading.Thread class:

    class MyThread(threading.Thread):

        def run(self):
            # skip try...finally to make the example shorter
            result = None
            if self._target:
                result = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
            return result

We can reopen this if you can share a valid use case. Thanks for the report!
