In Parser/myreadline.c PyOS_Readline uses a single lock (`_PyOS_ReadlineLock`). I guess it is so that we don't have messed up stdin reads. Or are there other technical reasons? However, it should work to call this function from multiple threads with different/independent `sys_stdin` / `sys_stdout`. |

Ok, it seems that the Modules/readline.c implementation is also not really threadsafe... (Whereby, I think it should be.) |

Even more problematic: The readline lib itself is absolutely not designed in a way to be used from multi threads at once. |

Well, readline is supposed to be used with a console, and there is only one usually. Why would you want to use readline from multiple threads? |

You might have opened several via `openpty`. I am doing that here: https://github.com/albertz/PyTerminal |
