How do I know when all threads are done?

How can I detect when all threads are done and then return control to
the main threads?

Thanks for your help

Use "join".

import threading

threads = []

threads.append(threading.Thread(...))
threads.append(threading.Thread(...))
threads.append(threading.Thread(...))

for thread in threads:
thread.start()

# now all threads are running, some might already be done

for thread in threads:
thread.join()

# here all threads are done
