I recommend that you look at the Queue module. Think in terms of producers and consumers -- when the producer adds an item, it pushes it onto the queue. There may be multiple producers. The consumers are several threads that try to get items off the queue and process them. So your list becomes the queue.
(BTW, this list is pretty inactive -- you're better off getting help on python-list.)
