python - What does sys.exit really do with multiple threads?

I was really confused by sys.exit() in python. In python documentation, it says "Exit from Python"; does that mean when sys.exit() is called in a python program, the process will exit? If so, the code below shows a different result:

import sys
import time
import threading

def threadrun():
    while(True):
        time.sleep(1)

if __name__=="__main__":
    t=threading.Thread(target=threadrun)
    t.start()
    sys.exit()

Launching this program in linux, result was not the expected one as python documentation says but still run in the system, so what does sys.exit() really do?

As per the documentation sys.exit() raises SystemExit:

Exit the interpreter by raising SystemExit(status).

If SystemExit reaches the default exception handler, it calls handle_system_exit(), which more or less pushes through to Py_Finalize(), which in turn calls wait_for_thread_shutdown() in Python 2, so sys.exit() is the same as the normal falling off the bottom of the main module in waiting for all non-daemon threads to terminate.
