python threads?

It seems to work with queuing and threading I may need to research it
further to get the best quality.

Segement Faults, problem because it happens about 1 in 2000 runs and I
can't get a lock on reproduction. so for now I've had to hope
something else I fix will also fix that. there are standard ubuntu
libs and nothing else seg faults like that so not sure about hardware.
although hal/dbus are known to be flaky so perhaps it's that.
