For what it's worth, EVE Online uses Stackless Python for game logic
on both client and server, according to
http://www.eve-online.com/faq/faq_07.asp.  From that brief excerpt,
it appears the big winner for EVE is coroutines, which are generally
more effective than threads.

One issue you may face is a lack of skilled developers for Python.
