If I had time, I would create this multithreading Python myself, call it a different language perhaps. I don't know if the Python licence allows this.

The license is only on the implementation (source code), not on the language itself. You are free to provide alternative implementations of the language, without having to ask anybody for permission.

But please don't call such a thing trivial when you know it is inherently complex.
