Extending with POSIX thread

[Mathieu Bec]

Hi,

Is there any restriction on extending Python with pthread?

Basically, I want to create a background process that blocks on a select
call.
My prototype 'seems' to be working fine using  pthread,
but I'd like to be sure ... or if there's any more viable alternative
(fork ?)

cheers,
