If you want to work with native Win32 events, locks etc. you can use Mark 
Hammond's Win32event stuff. But before you go making cross-platform 
promises, you might want to look carefully at threadmodule.c and friends.

Believe it or not, it took a lot of effort to come up with a set of Python 
primitives which behave reasonably cross-platform. What's efficient on one 
platform is likely to a dog on another.
