[pylucene-dev] PythonThread and searching

[tsuraan at tsuraan.net]

I believe that python's global lock prevents execution of the 
interpreter while any c-code is being executed.  Does this also apply 
to searches being done in PythonThreads?  If I have multiple 
long-running searches, will they block each other due to the way the 
python interpreter is designed, does PyLucene get around this somehow, 
or am I totally wrong in my concern?
