If you look at ThreadedWebserver.py in the Google
repository, you will see an example of how to use
Stackless Python with a thread. I use a tasklet,
tick() to prevent deadlock. You can ignore the Twisted
part.

If I have time, perhaps I can look at MySQL's
interface and figure out a way of calling it through a
network connection, hence avoiding the blocking.

Cheers,
Andrew
