no multithreading?

[moonseeker at my-deja.com]

Hi!

I have understood that the python interpreter switches to another thread if a
fixed amount of python commands is completed. Is this true? That means if a
task hangs on a command (i.e. file open), all tasks are locked? What happens
if I use sleep() in a task? And, that would be mean that the python
multitasking is no real multitasking...

Any comments are appreciated.

mfg,
Mike
