you got your database in my Python remote objects server

just want to throw this idea out and see it in appeal to anyone.  I would work 
on it myself except for the fact that my wrists have given out (yet again) and 
writing code with speech recognition isn't the most efficient method.

I have been working on a project where I am using Pyro (Python remote objects) 
as a way of providing network access to a variety of operations on top of 
database services.  I have been struggling with a variety of database techniques 
and I keep coming back to metakit as a solution that just feels right in terms 
of level of effort etc.

The main problem is that Python remote object servers are multithreaded.  They 
are either threaded on an object basis or connection basis.  Everything I've 
read so far says that metakit is maybe yes, maybe no, happy with threads in the 
Python environment.

My wish: update/validate metakit to work with threads in general and Pyro 
servers specifically.  I'm not asking for a lot. Metakit access could be single 
threaded which still allows for server applications to be multithreaded.  I 
believe that something this "simple" would be good because, in theory, it's 
either present but on validated or relatively easy to accomplish.  in addition 
to this wish, I would like to see a release of a thread capable/okay metakit in 
conjunction with Pyro 4.0.  A joint project/release would bring good, positive 
attention to both projects.

If folks think it's a good idea, what would it take to validate metakit in a 
threaded environment like the one I propose?  Is there a simpler model for 
dealing with threaded environments that I'm not aware of?

I have templates for Pyro servers that I could use to help build a testbed but 
I'm missing some critical knowledge to be able to complete the project.

Ever hopeful:
