Honestly, I think this one is way beyond an undergraduate project. You aren't the first one to think Python should be parallelized: many smart people have tried to do it and gotten nowhere. Some of the other libraries mentioned here will be a more reasonable size (unless "unit" means PhD :-).

It's only an undergraduate subject. Python is way off limits.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! This has really helped a lot.
