In my quick attempt to do CSP on top of CPython threads I learned that: - It's not as easy as it sounds to get deterministic behavior out of threads, and debugging threaded python apps is no fun. - When it does work, the performance sucks compared to Stackless.
Perhaps someone with more Python threading experience can prove me wrong?
I have spent almost three weeks to implement thread-aware channels for Stackless in C, and I can tell you it was hard. They are almost exactly 10 times slower than Stackless channels, and it was not trivial, but once for all time. :-) I think you are right! -- chris -- Christian Tismer :^) mailto:tismer@stackless.com Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
