I'm sorry I've forgotten to add one important thing to the script - the
t.setDaemon(True) call, as without it the main thread will wait for the
user thread to stop explicitly. So the correct script is:
 some_time = 6000000 # seconds
 class MyThread(Thread):
 def run(self):
 while (True):
 time.sleep(some_time)
 t = MyThread()
 t.setDaemon(True)
 t.start()
 while(True):
 select.select(None, None, None, some_time)
