I'm confused trying to understand your requirements too. "run a class?"
Threads execute code, it's easier to think of them as *functions* that are  
executed at the same time (or almost).
So you have a function A that runs first, and creates a second thread that  
will execute function B. Then A will wait for B to finish. What do you  
want to do in A while it's waiting? Nothing? Then why to use a second  
thread? Or is it a graphical interfase? GUI libraries like wxPython, Qt  
and others have specific ways to execute backgroung tasks while keeping  
the user interface responsive - you should tell us which one you're using  
in that case.
