I think that is expected when working with threads.

I don't see how this could be... if you have the code I posted
in the module Test, then you would have to do ...

import Test
Test.main()

or are you actually running some other code?

I guess I recommend posting to the main python list
(I view it as comp.lang.python on usenet)

Make sure to include the exact code you are
using and the details of your system (python and os
versions and how you are running the code -- like if
you are in IDLE or konsole or gnome terminal)
along with the output you are getting and
the output that you expect to get.
