Watch number of Threads in Python

I wrote a program with Python and it uses multi-threads, i want to know how many threads were executed with the timing and all of the statistics, is there a way to use the debugger to have those results ?

PS: i am using PyCharm.

Assuming you are using the threading module rather than bare threads, you can use threading.active_count() as follows:

num_threads = threading.active_count() # Python 3.x
num_threads = threading.activeCount() # Python 2.x

to get the amount of threads. To get the threads themselves, use threading.enumerate():

for th in threading.enumerate():
  # do whatever.

As far as timing and other statistics, you may have to track these manually, it looks like Thread objects are fairly scant of meta-data.
