1. The need for some group to develop and maintain what anounts to a forked version of CPython. 2. If micro-locked Python ran, say, half as fast, then you can have a lot of IPC (interprocess communition) overhead and still be faster with multiple processes rather than multiple threads. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
