Funnily but I still can't get the code working... WITHOUT IDLE.
I think it's because of "import thread" line. Seems something
wrong with "opening" this module. In IDLE it works OK.


Now, let's see ... [presses fingers to temples and exercises psychic powers] ... ah yes, its because you're DOING SOMETHING WRONG :-)

Unfortunately "can't get the code working" isn't a very helpful description. Can you explain (preferably with a traceback) how it fails?

Generally speaking, when you take your car into the garage (American: shop) because "it won't go" it's OK because the technicians can try and start it themselves. We don;t have your code readily to hand, so we need a bit more to go on.

Generally speaking you would do well to try the threading module rather than thread unless you have a specific reason for not doing so. But if you post your code (or even better a subset of your code that demonstrates the error so people can pick it apart for themselves) with a traceback from the interpreter or a full description of what you expected the code to do and what it actually does we'll be able to help much more easily.
