The bottom line is. There is a class, it describes how to work with VK.
One of its functions is a while loop that waits for data to arrive.
The main function code contains

look_for_msgs = threading.Thread(target=Vkontakte__.import_messages) #, args=(b.get('text'),user__id)

So.Threading considers that the self argument was not passed. Which should have been supplied by the class to transfer information within itself.
How it can be solved besides "to hammer on OOP and to push everything in a heap"?

I found an acceptable solution. Instead of a class, I wrote its wrapper inside another file.
Well, for example. It was:

like this

class test:
      def init(self):
          self.x = 5
      def print_(self):
          print(self.x)

If below in the code you throw it away in threading, then catch the error about which I turned here.
Decision:

test.py

w = 1
def init():
  print(w)

test2.py

import test
import threading
w = 2
there_is_no_spoon = threading.Thread(target=test.init)
there_is_no_spoon .start()

As for the w variable. In the second test file, it is overwritten to check whether the test.py file variable will be changed. The answer is that it does not change, nothing will depress or change the variable from the imported file.
Don't repeat my mistakes...
