Try the following, to call your function yourself in this way:
def myfunction(string,sleeptime,*args):
while 1:
print "string is ", string
time.sleep(sleeptime) #sleep for a specified amount of time.
f = myfunction
r = ("Thread No:1",2)
f(*r)
The key here is the *r syntax, which is used in a function call to
turn a tuple (or list) into a separate set of arguments. It's kind of
the inverse of the *args you're already using.

Maybe I'm missing it, but in the original code, the line had
thread.start_new_thread(myfunction,("Thread No:1",2))
It has a single arg ("Thread No:1",2) versus something like
thread.start_new_thread(myfunction,1, 2, ("Thread No:1",2))
But
def myfunction(string,sleeptime,*args):
clearly takes two args. I don't get how the single arg ("Thread No:1",
2) in start_new_thread() gets magically converted two arges, string
and sleeptime, before it reaches myfunction().
