AAK!  I love Python, but don't do it in python.  Unless version 2.2 has 
changed things dramatically, python has way worse threading than java.  Java 
at least uses native threads, so they are scheduled efficiantly.  Last I 
heard python did it's own threading and a highly threaded program where the 
threads are I/O bound will just crawl.  This was something that killed us 
when using ZOPE, another extremely cool program.
