There is an issue open for the BufferedWriter + threads problem (which is probably what causes Bill's problem above). http://bugs.python.org/issue3476 As Martin suggested in this issue's comments, a simple fix would be to wrap most methods with an instance-specific mutex. I don't know how that would affect performance.
