If you use twisted with the select-based reactor (which is default) this
should be no problem at all. As there is only one process running, there
can't be a possible concurrent database access. Apart from that, you could
always explicitely guard your critical section of code with a
threading-lock - then you're free to use the thread-based reactor.
