I agree and am not looking forward to debugging race conditions or implementing locks around lists and dicts in python code. The language is chock-full of mutable state and sharing that mutable state between threads is a recipe for disaster.

That's the point of the subinterpreter approach. It's only a viable approach if we can achieve the data isolation of multiprocessing with the efficiency of threads.
