If test really looks like that, then I'm guessing it exits before you call
enumerate, so all that is left is the main thread.  Also, if you derive
from Thread, you need to tell it what it's running:

import threading
import time

class test(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self, target = self.t)
    def t(self):
        while 1:
            time.sleep(1)

te = test()
te.start()

threading.enumerate()
