I'm surprised no one here corrected that point yet, so here we go: yes, 
Python does support multithreading. The fact that threads won't be 
executed concurrently on a multicore machine (due to the GIL) is a 
different problem (cf Andrew Cooke's answer on this - and his advice to 
study Erlang if you want to do concurrent programming).
