[New-bugs-announce] [issue8486] [PATCH] threading.Event()

New submission from Benjamin VENELLE <kain94 at gmail.com>:

Hi,

I'm suggesting to declare a __bool__() function as an alias for is_set() in Event class from threading package. So Event objects could be used like booleans.

Ex:

I thought 'while(not event): do_something()' is much intuitive than 'while(not event.is_set()): do_something()'
