Threads in python?

[Fernando Rodríguez]

I'm going to start coding a little utility that needs to retrieve webpages and
process them. 

However, I worried that the whole app might stall if one server takes too long
to respond or is offline.

Does Python support threads? "Learning Python" doesn't mention it...
