This really isn't the place to ask this kind of question.
If you want to know how to do something with python, try python-users ,
stack overflow, etc.
If you have an idea about a new feature you think python could have, then
the python-ideas list is the place for that. But if you want anyone to take
it seriously, it should be a better formed idea before you post there.

Regular old threading works fine for this:
import time
import random
import threading
def process(infile, outfile):
"fake function to simulate a process that takes a random amount of time"
time.sleep(random.random())
print("processing: {} to make {}".format(infile, outfile))
for i in range(10):
threading.Thread(target=process, args=("file%i.xml" % i, "file%i.xml" %
i)).start()
It gets complicated if you need to pass information back and forth, or
worry about race conditions, or manage a queue, or ....
But just running a nice self-contained thread safe function in another
thread is pretty straightforward.
