I see. Now, I take the modified script

import threading, time

def func1():
    for i in range(10):
        for k in range(10):
            pass
        print "FUNC1"

def func2():
    for i in range(10):
        for k in range(10):
            pass
        print "FUNC2"

t = threading.Thread(target=func1)
t.start()
func2()

This has no explicitly-blocking calls, and prints

FUNC2
FUNC2
FUNC1
FUNC2
FUNC1
FUNC2
FUNC1
FUNC2
FUNC1
FUNC2
FUNC2
FUNC2
FUNC2
FUNC2
FUNC1
FUNC1
FUNC1
FUNC1
FUNC1
FUNC1

So I still can't see your problem.
