Not at this point.  As soon as I find something I'll let you know.

I committed some changes to CVS back in August to make ORBit-Python
thread-safe by using the global interpreter lock, but I have some
reservations about the correctness of this code.  My initial thoughts
were that Python's interpreter will prevent two threads from
simultaneously calling ORBit functions, but I may want to reinvestigate
this, especially since Roland's bug report in September (see the list
archives).

I don't know much about orbit-mt, but my impressions from what I've read
on the project's webpage is that it would be workable with ORBit-Python
with some trivial changes.
