Now, let's see ... [presses fingers to temples and exercises psychic

Unfortunately "can't get the code working" isn't a very helpful 
description. Can you explain (preferably with a traceback) how it fails?

Generally speaking, when you take your car into the garage (American: 
shop) because "it won't go" it's OK because the technicians can try and 
start it themselves. We don;t have your code readily to hand, so we need 
a bit more to go on.

Generally speaking you would do well to try the threading module rather 
than thread unless you have a specific reason for not doing so. But if 
you post your code (or even better a subset of your code that 
demonstrates the error so people can pick it apart for themselves) with 
a traceback from the interpreter or a full description of what you 
expected the code to do and what it actually does we'll be able to help 
much more easily.
