The use_threads parameter changes to True despite setting it to False or None.

[hector-sherpas]

I am trying to run the following code with use_threads parameter set to False.

import ocrmypdf

in_pdf = ...
out_pdf = ...

ocrmypdf.ocr(in_pdf,
             out_pdf,
             use_threads=False,
             language='eng',
             deskew=True,
             rotate_pages=True,
             rotate_pages_threshold=2,
             tesseract_timeout=0,
             optimize=0,
             fast_web_view=999999,
             output_type='pdf', 
             skip_text=True)

However, inside the library the parameter is changed to True in the cli.py file.

jobcontrol.add_argument(
        '--use-threads', action='store_true', default=True, help=argparse.SUPPRESS
    )

is it possible to fix this?

Current use_threads=False is not very useful -- it will deadlock on larger files.
