Thanks Guys

So it seems as if I've made some pretty basic newbie mistakes then :-$

 1. Posting to the wrong list
 2. Posting about something that already has a work around

oh well never mind - better luck next time ;-)

Only one thing comes to my mind about the comments made saying that this is no 
longer an issue:

 All of the solutions presented rely on the use of a third party library to 
control the threading. It appears as if there have been no basic changes to the 
thread package that ships with Python to resolve this. While it is possible to 
set and read global variables &c to do something close - it doesn't strike me 
as a nice solution as Python offers in so many other places.

However, I am willing to concede that as the issue has been dormant (or appears 
to be) now for ~2years that it can not be a particularly burning issue. So I'll 
go back and trawl the open issues for something else to help my favourite 
language get better :-)
