This is an internal Python error, not one related to your program (other
than that it seems to want threads, directly or indirectly.) If memory
serves, the problem is that Python is compiled without threads, but one or
more of the extention modules you're using were compiled _with_ threads.
(Or, possibly, the other way 'round, but I don't think so.) Testing to see
if python is compiled with threads is fairly easy: run 'python2' and type
'import thread'. Perhaps you need to get threaded (or non-threaded) versions
of some of your RPMs ?
