How did you install python? By default, if built from ports, it should 
pop up a configuration dialog in which one of the options is to enable 
thread support. If you have a bad configuration record, you can do a 
"make config" in /usr/ports/lang/python to re-create it.

(if there's no such option, then maybe using threads with python is 
disabled in 4.x)
