They both start threads but the threading module also modifies the behavior of sys.exit() so the program will not exit until all *non* daemon threads exit. So you may get the behaviour you want with 1) as written (without the setDaemon() call). Calling setDaemon(True) *allows* the program to exit before the daemon thread terminates which sounds like the opposite of what you want.
