The whole purpose of threads is to improve overall speed of execution. Unless you're working with a very small number of threads (single digits), that's a very hard to achieve goal in Python. I wouldn't count this as easy to use. It's easy to program, yes, but not easy to get working with reasonably acceptable performance.

And the python people would just point to multiprocessing...which works pretty well.

Which has its own set of challenges and yet another implementation of queue.

Yes, but the shared-mutable-state issue goes away.
