Nah - unfortunately, that's one of the major parts that's incomplete
about it :( A python coverage tool which automatically attaches to
multiple threads is a non-trivial task.

Of course, if I *do* get to release it (I'm waiting on a VP to sign
something off ...) then I could leave it to *someone else* to add the
multi-threading part ;)

The first few messages seem not to have made it to my news server.
Look on the Vaults for PyCover. It mostly does what you
want, and if it doesn't, it's easy enough to change.
