[Pythonmac-SIG] re: 1.6a1 + threading vs. 1.5.42 (stackless)+ uthread vs. no threading at all

[Brad Barnhorst]

Ok.


Taking a break from the tax man.  Renamed the old PythonCore and re-ran
ConfigurePython, _but_ did not move the old version into a separate
folder.  Stupid me.  Now I recall seeing a thread which mentioned this. 
RTM, man!  Enough blather, down to facts.


OS 9.0.4

using the test routines posted by Just:

No Threads:        1.34326639175 seconds
Threads (1.6a1):  11.6162949562  seconds
uThreads:          1.60          seconds


Many thanks to Just for his patience and help.  I'm still tripping over
myself trying to figure out CodeWarrior building on (and for) the Mac,
as well as building Python and/or nontrivial extensions (I don't think
the spam demo extension really counts).

FWIW, I'm actively using Python on both Mac and Windows (I _love_
VirtualPC), and occasionally on Linux.  More often on *NIX once I get
LinuxPPC and/or BSD on my machine (or OS X is released!))


Hoping to contribute useful info to this forum soon,
