Research direction

Search the repository for the four uses of .setDaemon mentioned in the issue and inspect how each thread is initialized. Replace the deprecated usage with the supported daemon configuration, then run the existing tests or GitHub Actions to confirm the deprecation warnings are gone.

Description

Hey,

since python 3.10 the use of .setDaemon is deprecated in favor of the property when initiating the object (..., daemon=True, ...)

https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.setDaemon

It's used 4 times in picamera2, and I get warnings about this in my github actions.

Maybe you want to replace it?

Thx!
