The reliability of python threads

Hey everyone, I have a question about python threads. Before anyone goes further, this is not a debate about threads vs. processes, just a question.

With that, are python threads reliable? Or rather, are they safe? I've had some strange errors in the past, I use threading.lock for my critical sections, but I wonder if that is really good enough.

Does anyone have any conclusive evidence that python threads/locks are safe or unsafe?

Thanks,

Carl
