Python 2.1 for Cygwin does not "threading"

Thu Apr 19 09:05:10 EDT 2001

I just made an update of my cygwin tools and noticed a new python distro
available for cygwin. But the threading stuff don't work!

Is it a "bug" or a feature ?

Python 2.1 (#1, Apr 17 2001, 09:45:01)
[GCC 2.95.3-2 (cygwin special)] on cygwin_nt-4.01

>>> import threading
