in thread A job scheduler for the threads module

It was so nice to wake up on Christmas morning and find these replies. Obviously my mistake was not knowing what keywords to use as search strings! (Admittedly, a fairly common mistake when there's more than one way to do it.) In the future, I hope that anyone searching for "thread scheduling" will find this thread.

BTW, I like your answer a lot more than learnedbyerror's eventual solution, which seems like overkill. I'll use yours as a basis for whatever I come up with and add it to my question.
