I tried it out and wrote instead of thread.start_new_thread this:
connThread = Thread(target=self.ConnctionHandler, args=(conn,))
connThread.start()
The result is exactly the same. First, I see only one process. But as
soon as I connect to the server, there are two processes which always
are there even if I disconnect. But still, there are never more then
two processes. I think the other process is a controle thread because
I found this in the documentation:
"There is a ``main thread'' object; this corresponds to the initial
thread of control in the Python program. It is not a daemon thread."
