Threaded server in python!?

[Achim Domma]

Hi,

I would like to implement my own http chat server. As far as I know pythons
threads are not very efficient due to the global interpreter lock. But
applications like Zope, Webware, ... work fine and they use threads. Am I
missing something or could somebody post some experiences (good ones and bad
ones) with threaded, socked based python servers.

regards,
Achim
