First off, python-ideas is not the right place to ask for programming
help--it's for suggesting changes to the Python language itself.  You
will have better results posting to a help site like
stackoverflow.com.

In your case, it looks like you want to create a thread, but "thr =
getFiles(fname)" is not doing that--it's just calling a function.

You probably want to change this to "thr =
threading.Thread(target=getFiles, args=(fname,))"
