If it's for some specific calculation in the game, the bluntest approach is probably to write a C extension that releases the GIL to do the calculation, and then use ordinary threads for concurrency. Put appropriate locks in the object to synchronize on. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
