I am a little confused by this.   I use threads, but threads must be 
compiled in.
This has been that the same since I downloaded my first python in '93 (Very
good language Guido :-)


Could someone please explain to a "confused" python user. Why the 
current version of
stackless python would not be distributed like threads???



Thanks to all for a great language!!!!!!!!!!!!!
