Embedding python/multi-thread env

[Aaron Lauinger]

I am looking for a suitable scripting language for a multi-threaded
server application.  I am wondering if python might be a fit.  The
server must be able to run multiple scripts concurrently (in separate
worker threads) and must be able to stop any of these scripts cleanly at
any time.  The scripting language must also allow writing C extensions -
I am believe python meets this req.  I am not so sure about the threaded
part.  If python cannot meet the threading requirement is there a
scripting language that can?
Tcl also seems like a candidate, but all of the Tcl docs i've found
avoids the topic of embedding multiple interpreters in a multi-threaded
application like the plague.  Does what i'm looking for even exist?
Any insights are much appreciated.
