Take a look at: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Threads/?tc=1 - To get some theory.

For Python specific stuff: http://starship.python.net/crew/aahz/IPC9/index.html - It REALLY helps if you know a little about threads already, but there are quite a few code examples on the site. I did some threading in C before trying it out in Python so I had little trouble taking the information from this site and applying it...good luck!
