The OP used the module "thread", while you used "threading" and didn't set
setDaemon(False). Then python waits until all threads are finished.

>From the thread module docs:


When the main thread exits, it is system defined whether the other threads
survive. On SGI IRIX using the native thread implementation, they survive.
On most other systems, they are killed without executing try ... finally
clauses or executing object destructors.
