Here's one:

I've found that depending on what you're trying to accomplish writing
an explicitly threaded implementation may not be the best way to go.
Having come from a C and Java background, threading was pretty much
the only way I knew how to do multiple execution paths, but I found that
for things like writing network servers in Python I was better off using
asynchronous I/O. Look into the asyncore module and the Twisted
framework (http://www.twistedmatrix.com/) if that's what you need.
