Good catch! It's actually a template for writing a threading adaptation for new platforms. But it's probably hopelessly out of date so unless someone wants to adopt it and keep it up to date, we can delete it. (Also, new platforms with unique threading APIs don't come along at the rate they did in the 1990s. :-) If there's more discussion, it probably belongs on bugs.python.org. --Guido On Wed, May 3, 2017 at 1:59 AM, Masayuki YAMAMOTO

Hi, python-dev.

I'm reading the part of threading feature to replace TLS API with TSS API (PEP 539). Python/thread_foobar.h hasn't be included to Python/thread.c (its include directive is comment out) and anywhere. This looks like dead code and we want to delete it, does anyone have a reason we should keep it?
