Thank you, but that doesn't answer my question. I was asking if there is a reason that "args" is not optional. Oftentimes functions I use to start_new_thread have no arguments (they may get data from bound instance or from closure), but still I have to pass empty "args", always wondering, why? Python lib generally has a very nice and convenient interface and tries to supply sensible defaults when possible. That "args" is a required argument is a mystery to me :) - kv A. No. Q.
