Except that you can't outright prevent it from being done as a Python
module could create the threads as a side effect of the module import
itself. I guess though if you load a module which does that and it
screws things up, then you have brought it on yourself as it would
have been your choice to make mod_python load it in the first place if
the feature was there. :-)
