Example of how to wait for enqueued tasks to be completed::

import threading, queue

q = queue.Queue()

def worker():
while True:
item = q.get()
if item is None:
break
do_work(item)
print(f'Working on {item}')
print(f'Finished {item}')
q.task_done()

q = queue.Queue()
threads = []
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
t = threading.Thread(target=worker)
t.start()
threads.append(t)
# turn-on the worker thread
threading.Thread(target=worker, daemon=True).start()

for item in source():
# send thirty task requests to the worker
for item in range(30):
q.put(item)
print('All task requests sent\n', end='')

# block until all tasks are done
q.join()

# stop workers
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
q.put(None)
for t in threads:
t.join()
print('All work completed')
