BTW, it should be noticed that lots of threading module methods have no docstrings (in my Python 2.5), for example _Thread__bootstrap, _Thread__stop.
things named _Class__name are explicitly marked private by the implementation (using the "__" prefix).
using them just because you can find them via "dir" is a really stupid idea. (and, as noted in the comment section to the recipe, the "stop" method flags a thread as stopped, it doesn't stop it.)
