Quite easy: Run exec_() inside the new thread, not inside your GUI/main thread. To do that add a run() method which only contains self.exec_() Then from the main thread (i.e. after the text.connect) start your thread by calling a.start(). You might need to add another function to your thread-class that starts the timer, but I'm not sure might as well just work as is...
