title: Python Multi-threading Help
body: <p>I'm looking to call a python function from within another python script in a new thread.
  I have experience using subprocess.Popen, but I used that for calling .exe's in the command line. Anyone recommend how to do this or a module to use?</p>
  
  <pre><code>def main(argv):
      call otherdef(1,2,3) in a new thread
      sleep for 10 minutes
      kill the otherdef process
  
  def otherdef(num1, num2, num3):
      while(True):
          print num1
  </code></pre>
