.start() sends that off to do its part of the task.. as   
    more data comes in.. its not blocked/lock waiting for os.system() to complete   
   or what ever..   
      
      
   The more and more I look at stuff on threads it doesn't appear that its the   
   solution as they can't be dynamically created, at least in Python, and no   
   changing to C/C++ is not an option, (also note this is PYTHON 2.7 and changing   
   to 3.x is not an option even its its the solution here.)   
      
   So hints, pointers to something that outlines threading better, or hints, or   
   ideas...   
      
   Maybe subprocess is the answer v. threading? ?  ??   
      
   I've looked over some things for both and not seeing the forest for the trees   
   here...   
      
   Just don't want the receiving loop to be locked/blocked while other tasks are   
   doen with the received data... these tasks such as storing to REMOTE SQL,   
   emails, could have transient delays that block/locks of the rx loop will cause   
   missed data...   
      
   I'd love any input, hints, guideance etc..   
      
   Thanks!

    the next part of the solution??? ?    
    ? ?   
      
   With put() etc.. but I am thinking I am going to run into the same   
   error/limitation of Python again...   
      
   Maybe subprocess is the solution? ? ? ? ?   
      
   I am not sure....   
      
   The receiving loop will run 24/7/365, it never stops reciving data.. it should   
   log, process, store, alert based on criteria in the program as needed but its   
   not a finite set of data.. I've got basically 5 YEARS on stored right now...the   
    data is not really import, nor is the source.. I've got it all working quite   
   well.. hums along... for that part... I already use subprocess as part of the   
   receiver loop to get in the data via my source.. ha sto receive it, decode it,   
   and pyton ingests it and process it (this is where the existing subprocess   
   comes in, it starts 2 sub processes to do this..)   
      
   What I am looking to do is   
      
      
   def Alert   
     alertMe   
      
   def StoreSQL   
     storeDatatoSQL   
      
   de EmailAlert   
     emailAert   
      
   then the rx loop   
      
   while True:   
      
     receivers   
      
    if  x==1234:   
      alertThread.start()   
      emailThread.start()   
      
    could be more of these for similar/criteria   
      
   storeSQL.thread.start()   
      
   Each of the lines thread.start() sends that off to do its part of the task.. as   
    more data comes in.. its not blocked/lock waiting for os.system() to complete   
   or what ever..   
      
      
   The more and more I look at stuff on threads it doesn't appear that its the   
   solution as they can't be dynamically created, at least in Python, and no   
   changing to C/C++ is not an option, (also note this is PYTHON 2.7 and changing   
   to 3.x is not an option even its its the solution here.)
