Based on my experience writing threaded applications in Jython, using Java Threads and the Runnable interface is the best practice. The following Jython script implements the best practice for building threaded applications in Jython:

from java.lang import Thread, Runnable
import synchronize

  class myclass( Runnable ):
    def __init__( self, myparam ):
      self.storeit = myparam

    def setMyparam( self, myparam ):
      self.storeit = myparam
    setMyparam=synchronize.make_synchronized( setMyparam )

    def printMyparam( self ):
      print "myclass: myparam =",self.storeit
    printMyparam=synchronize.make_synchronized( printMyparam )

    def run( self ):
      for self.i in range(5):
        self.printMyparam()

  count = 2

  a = myclass()
  a.setMyparam( "frank" )

  t = Thread( a, "MyThread %d" % count )
  t.start()
