The reliability of python threads

[Carl J. Van Arsdall]

Hey everyone, I have a question about python threads.  Before anyone 
goes further, this is not a debate about threads vs. processes, just a 
question.

With that, are python threads reliable?  Or rather, are they safe?  I've 
had some strange errors in the past, I use threading.lock for my 
critical sections, but I wonder if that is really good enough.

Does anyone have any conclusive evidence that python threads/locks are 
safe or unsafe?

Thanks,

Carl
