This would be doable, however when I was thinking about this in a slightly
different context, I was worried about the Python GIL, so you would probably
want to push this into a C extension so you could release the lock
completely and do your work, then grab it, return it.  This would allow the
server to run smoothly.  Otherwise, if it takes any time, you're going to
see jerkiness in your server.
