Python threading, new thread gets stuck

Question

I'm trying to write a python application with a gui, and I'm having trouble with python's threading package.

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import threading
import time

class gui:
    def main(self):
        print "starting gui"
        gtk.main()

class logic:
    def __call__(self):
        time.sleep(1)
        print "did logic"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    threading.Thread(None, logic()).start()
    gui().main()

Outputs:

starting gui

The logic never happens. Why? How can I fix this?
