-------------
I managed to get this code but the problem is main thread exits before
the completetion of child threads:

class MyThread ( threading.Thread ):

   def run ( self ):

      global theVar
      print 'This is thread ' + str ( theVar ) + ' speaking.'
      print 'Hello and good bye.'
      theVar = theVar + 1
      time.sleep (4)
      print 'This is thread ' + str ( theVar ) + ' speaking. again'

for x in xrange ( 20 ):
   MyThread().start()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't use a sleep in the main thread because I don't know when the
child threads end.

Thank you,
venu madhav.
