= Asking for Help: thread started by 'bg' ends without any notification =

I already have a tool programmed using python language and I am trying to add a functionality over it. For that purpose I have written certain functions and utilities and I start these functions in separate threads using 'bg <func_name>'.
Now some of the threads are dying without any notification or exception.

Here is the output showing threads just after all the threads are started -

Somewhere during the execution '{{{<BackgroundJob: MultipleCallsUp(sgsn, LocalImsi='404660000115000', callNo=5000, delay=1, myApnStr='imsauthapn', ue_tz=None, pco=None, pco_v1=pco_v1, com_flags=None, uli_v1=None, rai_v1=None, static=0, app_type=APP_TYPES.SGSN, randomize=1)>}}}' thread gets killed and there is no trace on how and why it has ended. Here is the output of threading.enumerate() captured when I understood from the execution stats the some of the threads might have gotten killed -
