Atomic Event.{wait,clear}

[David Given]

I'm using the threading module, with the Event class to handle
synchronisation. It's all working nicely and is very easy to use.

However, I can't seem to find a way of atomically waiting for an Event,
and then clearing the flag, which is very strange. Currently I do
Event.wait() and then Event.clear(). If another thread does a Event.set()
in between the two, the event will be lost. For my current application,
this isn't a problem, but what shold I do in the future?
