I was wondering about when threading will be available on the Macintosh.
Looking at the new threading_api.py under unix, I was thinking that we could
establish a thread module that would
present this interface to the user.
Metrowerks CW Powerplant has a pretty good consumer / producer  module.
Couldn't we move that same structure into python? I also think that c++
would be a good jump for implementing
Macintosh functions that are replications of the unix/win functionality. CW
c++ is one of the best I've seen.

I don't know the effect this will have on the other areas of python. I have
never written a threaded MSL application before.
