I migrated to threading and ran:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./server", line 262, in ?
    import cgi, cgitb, cPickle, re, os, random, sgmllib, socket, string, 
sys, \
  File "/home/jonathan/Python-2.3/Lib/threading.py", line 6, in ?
    import thread
ImportError: No module named thread

2.3's threading seems to be built on top of thread, and is breaking. Can 
anyone tell me how to get Python working with threading on 
NetBSD--including e-mailing me the URL to the package and instructions 
(pkg_add <name_of_tarball>?)

TIA:
