I have an application that put on an old machine with a fresh Xubuntu
installation (with Python 2.5). But I can't get the threading to work

The application was written on a combination of Windows XP and
OpenSuse and has been running without any problems using Eclipse/
Pydev. However, now that I try to run the application using IDLE it
just hangs.  I have managed to track the point at which it hangs to
the following line:

for sitename in mysites:
    log.info("define thread")
    thread_list[search_engine]=threading.Thread(name=sitename,
target=myproceedure, args=(sitename,))
    log.info("done")
    thread_list[search_engine].start()
    log.info("Started")

It gets to the "done" and then hangs. It doesn't appear to get to
'myproceedure'.

Since 'myproceedure' is before 'done', the above is unclear.
