This is a somewhat complicated question.  The basic answer is that
Python is thread-safe if you use it correctly, particularly in the
context of pure Python; Python is *not* thread-safe if you have multiple
C/C++ threads making calls into a single interpreter session unless you
are very, very, very careful.
