This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but generally the advice
I've seen is to simply not use threads.  For instance, use asynchronous
single-threaded alternatives like asyncore, or a solution that involves
coroutines and microthreads like Stackless/PyPy.  I'd love to do this kind
of thing myself, but the problem I've run into is that so much legacy or
third-party code out there is already thread-based that integration becomes
very difficult.  If you don't have to deal too much with legacy or
third-party code, though, this may be a viable solution.
