simple threading

I am trying run a particularly processor hungry function in a
seperate thread but I can't quite figure out how to return
the arguments from the object now.

previously the function call was coded as:

motifs = motifFinder.findOtherOccurances(posList, doubles)

the new code is:

motifs = thread.start_new_thread(motifFinder.findOtherOccurances,\ 	
	(posList, doubles))

The function seems to run fine, but it always returns None,
can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

TIA
