to py or not to py ?

[Chandrashekhar kaushik]

okay
so much for a few spelling errors and abbreviations used by me !!
we are losing the main point !
i had a look at mercurial . It deals with SCM . I am typically
looking at an application thats to deal with geometry data ( tetras ) ,
process millions of them and may be process them repeatedly ( iterative ).
It would basically involve client-server operations to first distribute data
over a computing network and then send requests to process the data
at the various nodes that contain the data.
it is going to be multi-threaded.

Carl , what are the problems that could arise with threading ??
