using threading module

[Victor Muslin]

I tried using the threading module with the following simple program:

	#!/usr/bin/python

	from threading import *

	reps = 10

	def f1(msg='xxx'):
		for i in range(0, reps):
			print 'f1', msg, i

	t1 = Thread(target=f1,args=('bar'))
	t1.start()

For some reason it barfs with the following trace that, being rather
new to Python looks pretty nasty to me:

	Exception in thread Thread-1:
	Traceback (innermost last):
	  File "E:\Apps\Python_1.5.2\Lib\threading.py", line 376, in __bootstrap
	    self.run()
	  File "E:\Apps\Python_1.5.2\Lib\threading.py", line 364, in run
	    apply(self.__target, self.__args, self.__kwargs)
	TypeError: too many arguments; expected 1, got 3

However, when I do not pass the "args" parameter to the Thread constructor, as
in:
	t1 = Thread(target=f1)

Yet I've seen example where parameter(s) had been passed like that. What is
going wrong? I am using Python 1.5.2 on Windows NT machine.
