Indeed. I'm tempted to do value level locking at somepoint, but performance

I don't think that you can rely on the threadsafety of these functions. Even
if they are threadsafe in C Python (which I doubt that 'set' is), the locking
in Jython in more fine grained and would likely catch you out.
I would suggest that you should routinely wrap shared datamodels like th
