Thank you :) > Nadeem, what do you think?. Is xz in your list?. Yes, it's the next substantial thing I was planning on working on. I don't have a lot of free time at the moment, though, so it might take a while. But I'll definitely have it done in time for the release of 3.3 ;) Looking at the pyliblzma code, I see that it provides the same thread-safety guarantees as bz2 does. In rewriting, I would like to remove the locking code, as it complicates the control flow logic of the C code, and doesn't seem like the sort of thing a compression library should be concerned with. Are there any objections to this? (Also, if anyone knows why bz2 was written to be thread-safe in the first place, please enlighten me) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
