Well, please read your favorite threading documentation.

You need to join() the thread

timer.join()

It sounds like you want to block your main thread until your worker thread has finished. For that you want the join function

import time
import sys
from threading import Thread
print 'top'
def foo():   
  for i in range(1,10):
    sys.stdout.write(str('\r%s\r'%i))
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(1)
timer = Thread(target=foo)
timer.start()
timer.join()
print 'bottom'
