Dave Beazley's "Python Concurrency from the Ground Up" talk at PyCon
US this year was almost exactly that:
https://us.pycon.org/2015/schedule/presentation/374/

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4
Demo code: https://github.com/dabeaz/concurrencylive

There's a direct causal link between that talk and our renewed
interest in getting subinterpreters up to a point where they can offer
most of the low overhead of interpreter threads with most of the
memory safety of operating system level processes :)

Cheers,
Nick.
