Description
In Python threading, an "event" is a synchronization primitive used to coordinate between multiple threads. It allows one or more threads to wait until a certain condition is set or cleared by other threads.

The threading.Event class in Python provides a simple way to communicate between threads using a flag that can be set or cleared.

Here's a brief overview of its main methods:

Event() - This creates a new event object with an initial flag value of False.

set() - Sets the flag of the event to True, allowing threads waiting for this event to proceed.

clear() - Resets the flag of the event to False.

is_set() - Returns True if the flag is set, False otherwise.

wait(timeout=None) - Blocks the current thread until the event is set.
