request handling in a thread

Hi,

My application (Pyro3 as we still use connection authentication, as per my
post to this list a few months ago) currently looks like this (with
hundreds of details omitted):

while True:
    process_many_pyro_connected_objects() # part 1
    pyro_daemon.handleRequests( timeout=1 )  # part 2


The trouble is that when the number of pyro-connected objects gets large it
takes some time to process them (in part 1) and as a result responsiveness
to user requests goes down.  Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm new
to threading - but as far as Pyro is concerned is it ok to do continuous
request handling in a separate thread, like this:

# thread 1
while True:
      process_many_pyro_connected_objects()

# thread 2
while True:
     pyro_daemon.handleRequests()

(so long as both threads only change the state of my pyro-connected objects
in a thread-safe way).  It seems to work, and I assume it is ok, but
thought maybe I should check with the experts.  Or is there a better way to
do it?

Thanks,
Hilary Oliver
