I'm no python expert but i had to do a stress test on a libary. (checking
thread safety)
here is the code (we soe absraction):
def testMultiThread():
  global resultDict
  resultDict = {}
  def testFuncThread(func):
       global resultDict
       if func():
           resultDict[func] = 'Passed'
       else:
           resultDict[func] = 'Falied'
   thread.start_new(testFuncThread,(Test1,))
    thread.start_new(testFuncThread,(Test2,))
    thread.start_new(testFuncThread,(Test3,))

   while (len(resultDict) < 3):
         time.sleep(5)
   return resultDict #here i did something else such as logging and
returning True or False

Maybe there is a better way for doing this?
If we had something like i suggested (with .value or not)

 def testMultiThread():
    resultDict = {}

      resultDict[Test1]= thread.startValueReturningThread(Test1)
      resultDict[Test1]= thread.startValueReturningThread(Test2)
      resultDict[Test1]= thread.startValueReturningThread(Test3)

      return resultDict #or again, pharsing the result...
