We had some discussion a while back about enabling thread support by default, if the underlying OS supports it obviously.
What's the consensus about Python microthreads -- a likely candidate for incorporation in 1.6 (or later)?
microthreads? eh?
Also, we have a couple minor convenience functions for Python in an MSDEV environment, an exposure of OutputDebugString for writing to the DevStudio log window and a means of tripping DevStudio C/C++ layer breakpoints from Python code (currently experimental). The msvcrt module seems like a likely candidate for these, would these be welcome additions?
Sure. I don't see why not. I know that I've use OutputDebugString a bazillion times from the Python layer. The breakpoint thingy... dunno, but I don't see a reason to exclude it. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
