I wrote a small web application server in python (www.lloop.com) using
Python and PyGreSQL. PyGreSQL was (mostly) thread safe, in practice, when
I started using it. I did a little bit of concurrency testing, found a few
uninitialized variables in the PyGreSQL module that caused crashes, but
these were easily fixed. If by thread-safe you mean a connection can be
safely shared between multiple concurrent threads, I don't know what to say
(never tried that). Pooling PyGreSQL connections and checking them in and
out to Python threads seemed to work well.
I haven't done much Python work lately, so I haven't tried PoPy (it sounds
nice).
