| Python 2.1 compiles out-of-the-box on BeOS (5), there are also

Bethon is not a GUI module, and it sure is thread-safe, but indeed
it is wrappers for the native BeOS API.  What did you do, that led
you to think it was not thread-safe?

It works fine on BeOS.  Python's core is eminently portable, that
might be for me its finest virtue.  There isn't all that much in
it to go wrong.
