I have no idea how to reasonably debug that example, it freely mixes 
ObjC and Python threading code.  It's not even correct for at least one 
reason: it doesn't detach an NSThread anywhere, so Foundation and Cocoa 
are not notified to be thread safeish.  Even though it did work 
previously, that might have been by accident.

What does your application actually do?  Chances are, there is a single 
threaded (as far as Python is concerned, at least) approach you can 
take that will have higher performance and be easier to debug.
