Thinking about it, it's actually a fine design to have a decorator that
turns a regular function into one that starts a thread -- from the caller's
POV it's no different than having a function that explicitly starts a
thread, and it could be a nice shorthand if you do this all the time. (You

This has a couple of advantages. I don’t have to import the threading module

Why not shift slightly? As remarked, having a function automatically
spawn threads
It’s definitely too early for a PR, so if you already have one (I didn’t
see one linked to this thread) please close it.
Then once we’ve bikeshedded the right good idea you can start a new PR.

It seems like the consensus is that this is a good idea, but it’s the wrong
good idea. Should I cancel the PR or should we try to make it into a better
good idea?

I think it does too. In the commonest use case, immediately after creating a
thread, you start it. And if you want to delay the thread but still use the
decorator, then you can do that explicitly with some locks. In fact, it’s
