That would suggest a bug in Python's socket implementation:
its "makefile().read" method would not release the global interpreter lock.

Do you think this is likely? If so, where would I go to report it, or maybe it's perhaps already fixed in Python 2.0?
That said, this problem only started manifesting itself when the target of the urlopen or Client.get was a Python Script. It had been working fine before when the target was DTML Method.
What with the Byte Code hacks, etc, in Python Scripts, I wonder if that isn't maybe the problem.
Has anyone got any ideas how I'd go about inestigating this?
cheers,
Chris

If your Zope blocks, then multi-threading seems to be disabled: either because the global interpreter lock was not released or all threads are used up.
The Python bug tracker is at Sourceforge (hopefully linked from http://www.python.org).
"comp.lang.python" may be of help, too.

Strange, there should be no difference between DTML and PythonScript in this respect.

I would not expect this.

You could try to figure out in what state Zope is when it blocks. Does is consumes time? Maybe, you can use a debugger to determine in what state the various threads are. This may give us a hint where the block is established.

Hmmm, looks like I'm going to have to punt on this one due to my own time shortage :-(
If anyone does find something odd in here, please let the list know ;-)
