...     print('thread done')

>>> if __name__ == "__main__":
...     print('main started')
...     msg = 'i am sleepy'
...     thd = t.Thread(target=sleep_thread, args=(msg,))
...     print('main created thread')
...     thd.start()  # invokes thd.run() automatically
...     print('main started thread')
