Answer 1

Your code looks fine and is quite clean.

The reason your application still "hangs" is that the worker threads are still running, waiting for the main application to put something in the queue, even though your main thread is finished.

The simplest way to fix this is to mark the threads as daemons, by doing t.daemon = True before your call to start. This way, the threads will not block the program stopping.
