Yes. Maybe writing this with big letters in the thread module docs would help?
I am not suggesting removal of threads but rather the Java threading model. I just think it is a mistake to let multiple OS threads touch the same interpreter.
Does Python have a java threading model? I don't know java well enough to know what that is. :)
