What you're missing is the fact that the main thread [i.e. the one running "the script", and that waits for the thread you call the method on] is, well, a thread. So, you start with two threads [the main thread and the jobs1 thread, for example], and end up with one [the main thread]. This is why it's called join. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
