I personally hate Python when it comes to threads. The global application lock means that one one thread can be active at any time. Thus, if you run a threaded python app on a dual core cpu, it will go no faster than if it had been a single core cpu...
My Ruby fork/pipe architectured scripts work just fine on my dual core P4 thank you! (And I know Matz the Ruby man has native threading as a priority enhancement for Ruby, but I hope he changes his mind. I bet it will just make it buggy and stop him from working on much more useful features...)
