Re: Gil/threading in python

[Robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert>]

I'll look over the article.  But, for the most part, you're screwed if
you're trying to do threading in Python, Perl, OCaml, Ruby, or a host of
other languages.  Only Lua, Go, and, of course, C-derived languages,
support true multithreading.
