thanks for your response, but with enough worker threads
it's still easy to starve the GUI thread.
and the other problems of this model remain:
1) a stupid native module could forget to release the global
interpreter lock and block on I/O, freezing the entire
interpreter (i.e. GIL is a pain for native module writers)
2) poor CPU utilization on SMP machines (which are quite
mainstream now)

Python's model just doesn't cut it for me (I'm well aware
now of how it works) so my question boils down to:

Do the python authors plan to make the interpreter reentrant
and if so when can we expect to see this in a production
release?
