My understanding from your first post was that the pygame loop was supposed
to run at X FPS while the other loop was supposed to run every N seconds.
If that is not the case and the data loop is supposed to run as fast as
possible, then you don't need threads for this.  Just stream the data in a
tight loop, and on each iteration check the timer for how much time has
elapsed to determine whether to run the pygame code without using
timer.tick.  If not enough time has elapsed for your target framerate, just
skip that part.
