Multi-thread programming with Cpy is quit easy. Just import the thread module, then use thread.start_new_thread(func, args) to run a function as a thread.

import time;
import thread;

function run(){
    while(true){
        printf("thread: %d says hello\n", thread.get_ident());
        time.sleep(1);
    }
}


foreach(range(0, 3) as i){
    args = tuple();
    thread.start_new_thread(run, args);
}

// press Enter to quit
stdin.readline();

Output:

thread: 5032 says hello
thread: 4708 says hello
thread: 5676 says hello
thread: 5032 says hello
thread: 4708 says hello
thread: 5032 says hello
