[pygtk] PyGtk, Standard way to thread?

[NewbieNoob]

Hi Everyone

I have been going around in circles for weeks now, I would love some help.

Is there a standard way to thread or otherwise divide tasks with PyGtk.

I know you can use:
-the thread module
-the threading module
-the Queue module
-the Gtasklets module with pseudo threads
-the time module to time different tasks.

I want to control instruments through a serial port, plot data from them and
still have a responsive GUI. I am pretty sure I will need to thread these
tasks.

It seems that most people think threads are very difficult or just plain
evil. Is there a fairly straight forward way to accomplish these sorts of
operations?

I would really appreciate any help you could provide-Patrick
