What operating system are you running?  On XP SP2 and later, a new 
thread should inherit the impersonation token of the calling thread, 
unless the caller passes a specific security descriptor into 
CreateThread.  (I don't know what the Python thread module does.)  On XP 
SP1 and before, you'd see the behavior you describe.
