This is why an interpreted language can be a lot easier than a compiled one.  Copy and paste one line at a time into the Python shell, and see where it barfs.

definitely crashes on

 thread.start_new_thread(main_thread, (p,))

The libraries for 2.5.4 are from 2008. Maybe thinking I should upgrade to later version.

TBH,  without an idea of what the main_thread() function does, I don't have a clue.  Since main_thread is a "normal" function, not doing anything thread special, what happens if you call it with arg p directly?

That was interesting -- when I called it, it apparently did what it was supposed to -- popped-up a bunch of windows. Thanks -- that's a great clue.
