> Python is not fundamentally single threaded

Yes it is. It is not designed to run fast on multi-core CPUs, because there were mostly single-core CPUs when Guido made the language. It has been always a problem since multi-core CPUs are more frequent and it's a front where Python is losing the battle (against Go for example because of way easier concurrency support).
