You should give us some more information about your code.
How do you initialize the embedded Python interpreter? Is
your C/C++ code that will be called from Python thread safe?
Is it always from Python to C or sometimes the other way around?

Are you using the installer from python.org? With 2.2.x I
make heavy use of the embedded interpreter in a
multithreaded application and it works very well in both
directions, from C++ to python and (call-) back.

Again, you should show us some code...
