New submission from Thomas Wouters <tho...@python.org>: In order to properly handle multiple threads and fork()-calls from C code (rather than os.fork()), Python should provide pthread_atfork()-like functionality: a function to call before a fork, to acquire any locks that need to be acquired, and a pair of functions to call after the fork, in the parent and the child, to release or re-allocate locks. The acquisitions should be re-entrant and should not require an existing threadstate. Also see <http://bugs.python.org/issue1590864>.
