How about this:

import time, threading

class MyThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.begin = 0
        self.end = 0

    def run(self):
        print "thread starting in background"
        self.begin = time.time()
        time.sleep(3)
        self.end = time.time()
        print "thread ending"

mt = MyThread()
mt.start()
print "main still running in foreground"

print "main going to wait for thread to end ....."
mt.join()

diff = mt.end - mt.begin
print "Thread's run() time was: %.5f" % diff
