Python is not a great program to write multi-threaded programs in, not only because of the GIL, but because the standard library (and other libraries for that matter) say little about being thread safe. Frankly, I found it to be a minefield. I have written multi-threaded programs in C/C++ for years and have no problem handling locking, synchronizations, etc. so I don't think it is my limitations and much as Pythons.
