You are calling the function f yourself, but what you want here is for 
the thread to call f once it's running.
So do

     t=thread.start_new_thread(proc, (f,)) # Procedure to call and a 
tuple of args for it.

I don't think the thread has a start method.

You should probably also consider using the higher-level threading 
module rather than the lower level thread module.

(Also consider using Python3 instead of Python2.)
