Ah, but it doesn't continue there (at least, not right away).  There's no
forking here, it just jumps back to the "update" line and takes the other
"if" branch.  This is a very complicated way of spelling:

def main():
    do_thread_func()

What you want (I think) is microthreads, for which someone already has an
implementation.  Sorry, but that's all the info I have off the top of my
head.
