The dummy_string is added as thread.start_new_thread needs two arguments. If we call execute_thread() function as self.execute_thread(), we cannot create a tuple, which is necessary in the second argument. Therefore, I created the dummy_string. This allows to add a tuple as second argument. Not ideal... but works.
