You need your program to sleep a while to allow a switch to other tasks. Like so: ### import threading, time class TestThread(threading.Thread): def run(self): print 'TEST' t = TestThread() t.start() while (True): time.sleep(0.01) pass ### Regards -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
