Interesting. I wonder how it manages the threading with the GIL and all that.

Thread per request works because the GIL is released during blocking IO. You only need one process per core and each process runs multiple threads. It saves a massive amount of RAM compared to trying to cram 50 (g)unicorns onto a server.
