Is there a good reason to *not* call PyEval_InitThreads when using a threaded Python?
Well, it depends how expensive ones OS's locking primitives are, I think. There were some numbers posted to the twisted list recently that showed it didn't make a whole lot of difference on some platform or other... I don't have the knowledge or the courage to make that call.
Sounds like it would just be easier to implicitly call it during Py_Initialize some day.
That might indeed be simpler. Cheers, mwh -- The gripping hand is really that there are morons everywhere, it's just that the Americon morons are funnier than average. -- Pim van Riezen, alt.sysadmin.recovery
