There haven't been any changes in python that would affect this.
I just did a quick grep of the metakit source and I didn't see any
calls to release python's GIL (global interpreter lock).  So calls
out to metakit should be threadsafe just like calls into core python
functions implemented in C are threadsafe (don't release the GIL).
