You can use threading to start parallel tasks.
There is a how-to tutorial on threading on the python
web site.

Another option if you use Python 3.4 is the async modules.

Remember that you probably only have one network connection
so all the data still has to come through that one connection.
While running two streams in parallel will probably be
effective more than that may not give you much advantage,
certainly it will be a case of diminishing returns.
