Summary: Thread in threading.py can only be started once

Initial Comment:
class Thread doesn't reset self.__started after run() has terminated, so one cannot reuse 
the thread class and run start() again.

It's true that Thread instances can't be restarted, but you 
haven't made a case for calling that "a bug".  Python's 
threading model is fashioned loosely on Java's, and, like 
Java's, limits thread instances to one invocation by design.
