We have just released a proof-of-concept implementation of a new approach to thread management - "newthreading". It is available for download at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/newthreading/
The user's guide is at
http://www.animats.com/papers/languages/newthreadingintro.html
The user guide says:
The suggested import is
from newthreading import *
The import * form is considered bad practise in *general* and should not be recommended unless there is a good reason. This is slightly off-topic for python-dev, although I appreciate that you want feedback with the eventual goal of producing a PEP - however the introduction of free-threading in Python has not been hampered by lack of synchronization primitives but by the difficulty of changing the interpreter without unduly impacting single threaded code.
I asked John to drop a message here for this project - so feel free to flame me if anyone. This *is* relevant, and I'd guess fairly interesting to the group as a whole. jesse
