It depends on what "help" means to you. Both Windows and Unix (and it's variances) are considered "thread-weak" OSes. So, using thread will come with some cost. The long gone IBM OS/2 is a classic example of a "thread-strong" OS. Still, a good use of thread would be, for example, a name-pipe server. See for instance: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-rt4/?open&t=grl,l=252,p=pipes Here you will see a performance improvement when threads are being used. The example you listed isn't a good use of thread for performance improvement sake. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
