I read a little more than that, but I commented on what was interesting to me. If I'm reading the rest of it right, it's basically a tutorial on making a python extension for two specific mysql API functions. That's fine, but it's not that interesting (to me).

Isn't that exactly what is happening when other requests are blocked by a blocking mysql call? They are stepping on each other for access to the shared event thread resource, which they need concurrent access to. Is this not the case? Please help me understand if I am misreading you.
