Thanks Emlyn

Just one more issue i have here. When i pass a string as an argument to the
thread it seems to call the method returning the string as a tuple and i get
an error that the method gets 48 arguments and it can only accept 2?

If this doesn't make sense here is the code.

for links in urls:
           links_thread =
threading.Thread(target=self.next_page_finder,args=links)
# Links is a string
           threaded_objects.append(links_thread)
I get this error:
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Python25\lib\threading.py", line 460, in __bootstrap
   self.run()
 File "C:\Python25\lib\threading.py", line 440, in run
   self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
TypeError: next_page_finder() takes exactly 2 arguments (48 given)

Thanks

James

How about using an object derived from Thread and making 'result' a
member of it?

You'd probably also want a variable to tell you if the function has
finished.
