Why are you so keen on using a dictionary to share data between threads that may both modify it? IMO this is asking for trouble -- the advice about sharing data between threads is always to use the Queue module.
I use them often for a shared caches. But yeah, it's harder than I thought at first -- I think the actual cases I'm using work, since they use simple keys (ints, strings), but yeah, thread guarantees are too difficult to handle in general. Damn threads.
