You can write an interactive interpreter that doesn't block. You're  
not going to be using raw_input() from a GUI app anyway, so non- 
blocking is more or less how you *have* to write it. Still, I don't  
see any reason at all to even think about threads. Even multiple  
processes sounds unnecessary here.
