Actually, I think that's more a testimony to the ease of use for Python
threads.  I certainly never managed to write any threaded programs
before I started using Python.  Granted, I did swipe some code from a
coworker who was familiar with threads, but converting my first Python
script to threaded execution only took a couple of hours -- and that
includes rebuilding Python on Solaris to use threads.

BTW (for the original querant), I posted a sample threaded script for
performance testing a web server a few days ago; you can find it at the
following DejaNews URL:
