Didn't really seem to explain much.

I'm trying to avoid any sort of explicit thread handling for
ease-of-programming, and I'm avoiding locking-based methods for
scalability reasons. I didn't look at it in too much detail, but it
didn't really seem to be what I'm looking for.

What I really need to know is, can I initialize two Python interpreters
and have them run separately without any locking occurring?
