Software Verification have Python Thread Validator. Its not publicly advertised on the beta part of the website, but it is available. http://www.softwareverify.com/publicBeta.html Take a look at Thread Validator or Java Thread Validator to see what the tool looks like (the Python tool is similar). If you are interested send an email to support asking about the Python port.
