[Metakit] thread safe in python

[William K. Volkman]

It is probably worth noting that since the Global Interpreter
Lock is not released by the Metakit interface module this means
that no other python threads will run pending the completion
of the call.  This is not so much thread-safe as thread-protected
or serialized.  The net effect, if your tasks are mostly I/O
oriented, is that threading buys you nothing.
