give threads a name prefix

[bmxp]

Just an idea if python-telegram-bot is part of a bigger program:

It would be a nice thing to improve bug finding in bigger programms of which python-telegram-bot is a part of if one could name the thread. Instead of names like

dispatcher
updater
84a23bc3-ec23-4aeb-be53-f24e7af82544_0
84a23bc3-ec23-4aeb-be53-f24e7af82544_1
84a23bc3-ec23-4aeb-be53-f24e7af82544_2
84a23bc3-ec23-4aeb-be53-f24e7af82544_3

I would rather like to see

telegram_dispatcher
telegram_updater
telegram_worker_0
telegram_worker_1
telegram_worker_2
telegram_worker_3

Since any thread has an id anyway, this should not be too difficult.
So instead using uuid4 to name a worker, just give a custom param of name_prefix='telegram' and worker_name='worker'

Thanks in advance!

This looks like it should be doable, we'll look into it and get back to you.
(note that it might be a while as we're right now pretty focused on getting V12 out asap)

Ok, thanks for letting me know, I am looking forward to this improvement.

@bmxp good find. Would you be comfortable to PR this yourself?

[bmxp]

I would love to but my expertise is not good enough to provide a PR and I am not very good with API creating thus I'd rather step aside and let someone else make a superior solution.
To give some more background: We have an Open Source Project SmartHomeNG and have a plugin which uses the library. To distinguish the threads it will help to have them named.
