Dan Stromberg <strom...@gmail.com> added the comment: I don't know that much about compression, but I wonder if a threadsafe compression module would enable parallel forms of compression? If yes, then multithreaded might be a big benefit, in light of multicore taking off.
EG: http://www.compression.ca/pbzip2/ It might be worthwhile to check with the authors (of bzip2 and pyliblzma modules) about why they went with thread safety. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
