Research direction
Review PR python/cpython#13250 and the uploaded pool-shutdown file first; the issue concerns interpreter exit, futures, and shut-down ThreadPoolExecutors. Reproduce the reported exit behavior and compare it with the proposed patch. Done means interpreter exit no longer blocks waiting for futures from shut-down executors.
