That's not very pythonic. Better is to provide a function in the
script to run it (say run), then run that in the script iff it's
the script is being executed:

    if __name__ == '__main__':
       run()

Then to use it from another script, you'd do something like:

     import myscript
     myscript.run()

Launching new threads as part of the import process is
*dangerous*. There are some nasty bugs lurking there that cause things
like your import never finishing. If you need to start a thread in a
module, the approach outlined above avoids those bugs.
