Brett, FYI, a daemon thread differs from a non-daemon 
thread in only one respect:  Python shuts down when only 
daemon threads remain.  It waits for non-daemon threads to 
finish.  So a daemon thread can keep running after the 
interpreter has torn itself down completely.  For that reason, 
problems in daemon threads doing non-trivial things are 
almost guaranteed.
