I guess a long time ago, threading support in operating systems wasn't very widespread, but these days all our supported platforms have it. Is it still useful for production purposes to configure --without-threads? Do people use this option for something else than curiosity of mind?
Gentoo (of course) allows users to build Python without threads; I'm not aware of anyone depending on that, but I sent out a quick question to gentoo-dev. Cheers, Dirkjan
