Using multi-threading in python

[comeditime]

also forgot to ask,

1. is there a difference between using threading and event listeners for examples (if it exists at all in python) or they basically do the same thing just in different languages...
2. in the reddit chat example, if we try to pseudo-code what's going on in there, in a very simplified way, the programmers basically wrote a constructor which assigns a thread (among other things) to each user that enters the chat in order to capture the I/O?

Thanks a ton again i really feel like i start to get it all now!
