In the code you have shown, I don't see any need for

I'm not sure, but I think the thread will be garbage collected when it completes. (Can anyone
else confirm this?)
This does make sense,but how can we confirm that the instance is not garbage collected before it ends?is this the default behyaviour?
I just asked on comp.lang.python, we'll see what the experts say.
You can see my question and Martin v. Löwis' answer here: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/1ae7b20b397c4a7e/8d458a7dfaec1d42?tvc=2
He clearly says that the thread will not be GCed until after it completes, so you don't have to save a reference to it.
