Threads in LC

[JeeJeeStudio]

For what i've seen and read is that one can run functions in their own 
thread, so you assign a thread to it.

I'm not very experienced in Python, but that is what i read and i found 
it interesting. (slowly progressing the motor project with simplepygui 
and the GPIO)

Perhaps it is another way of calling it parallel and am i 
misinterpreting it as assigning stuff to another core.

So what i actually meant is multiprocessing, would that give advantage?
