As far as I know, using python-gphoto2 in a separate thread is perfectly 
OK. If you do everything from camera initialisation onwards in the same 
thread you should be safe.

Operations that may take some time surrender the Python GIL (global 
interpreter lock) so other Python threads can run while gphoto2 is busy.
