Ok, I didn't know that (maybe add a little comment?) Actually during my 
testing on windows the __del__ method was never called. The 
documentation says that it is sometimes not called for objects that 
exist when the interpreter is shutting down. On windows it was not 
called and the threaded version didn't work because of that. The helper 
thread never ended because it was blocked reading the error output. Sigh 
:( This implementation is better anyway ;-)
