Waiting for a thread to finish in python

The main thread in my program creates the UI. thread1 communicates with the server and thread2 writes the results to an Excel sheet. I want thread2 to start only after thread1 has finished executing. However, when I use thread1.join(), the UI goes irresponsive. How do I fix this? (Both thread1 and thread2 are created in the main thread.)

You should call thread1.join() from within thread2's run method, so that's it's thread2 that waits on thread1, instead of the main thread.
