Here are a couple of tutor threads with good material about Python threads: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2005-August/040831.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2004-November/033247.html Another way to do what you want is to use Twisted; this is touched on in the second thread above.
