THX a lot..

But I think it will not work in case if I want to return some value from the 
function. 

Like currently I am trying to implement three tier application using python.

I mean a web server that will serve the http request, depending on the request
it will create an XML string and will pass it to another tier running 
XMLRPCServer. On this tier the XML string will be parsed and will take actions 
accordingly ( like insertion in database etc.) Now I want the SimpleXMLRPCServer
to create a new thread for the request that will process the particular request
and will return the success/failure message. 

How can I do that with the help of queue object?? 

TIA and kind Regards
