Threading program with issues when executing from IDLE

[Batista, Facundo]

People, executing the following code from command line, it works as expected
(you see "th1 - 2" *always* after "th2 - 2").

But when I execute from IDLE one of two things happens:

- Everything freezes up after "th1 - 1".
- The program finishes but after I get an strange internal IDLE error.

There's a way to avoid that?

The code:

-----------------
import threading

def thfunc1():
print "th1 - 1"
event.wait()
print "th1 - 2"

def thfunc2():
print "th2 - 1"
print "th2 - 2"
event.set()

event = threading.Event()

th1 = threading.Thread(target=thfunc1)
th2 = threading.Thread(target=thfunc2)

th2.start()
th1.start()
-----------------

Thank you all!
