idle tasks

[Nathan Clegg]

I'm writing a multi-threaded application with the threading module.  I
would like one of the threads to run as the lowest priority, effectively
an idle function.  I typically only see idle functions in GUI toolkits,
however, and this needs to be a console app.  Is there a way to lower the
priority of a thread or create an idle function without using tkinter or
pygtk??
