In thread.py the module automatically registers a handler with atexit. I don't think I'm alone in thinking libraries should not be doing this sort of thing unconditionally behind a user's back. I'm also not so sure how comfortable I am with the module-level globals. Would it not be possible to have an exit handler on each thread pool which the documentation reccomends you register with atexit if it suits your application? I think that would get rid of the global singletons and hidden atexit in a fairly elegant way. Lastly _base.py creates a LOGGER (connected to sys.stderr if I understand correctly) and only logs a critical message to it at the same time as a RuntimeError is raised. While I don't necessarily dislike that it uses a logger, I don't like that it's wired up to sys.stderr I rather think it's the application's duty to create a handler if it wants one. But given that it's only used at the same time as a RuntimeError it does seem redundant.
