This might be good, as might the multiprocessing module.

I wouldn't wish a large Twisted project on my worst enemy.  If you
need async, you might consider gevent.

Perhaps - I have no experience with this.

I'd probably go the multiprocessing route.  multithreading is fine

CPU-bound thread, the multitasking gets all messed up - unless you
move to jython.
