Actually, here's an interesting example based on quickly firing up a worker thread:

postdef t = threading.Thread(target=def); t.start() def pointless():    """A pointless worker thread that does nothing except serve as an example"""    print("Starting")    time.sleep(3)    print("Ending")

You used 2 statements on the postdef line. That's not in the PEP (the original, I haven't read your revisons yet) and is probably fairly difficult to implement as well. Paul.
