[Python-Dev] New PEP: 319

[andrew cooke]

there is also discussion at the moment of thread-synchronisation on
the stackless python list.  people were considering ideas related to
futures and csp (influenced largely by the oz language, i think).

maybe stackless, with its stronger emphasis on threads, is the place
to iron out a really good solution to multi-threading before making
changes to standard python?

personal opinion: while java may be better than python in this respect
i think there are much better solutions out there.  i'm a java
programmer and in my last project, which was multi-threaded, most bugs
came from threading issues.  there seems to be a lot of research and
new ideas in this area and it would be a pity if python only matched
java, when there may be the possibility to surpass it...
