Chris Hefele has done an excellent talk about programming with threads using Python, including a fair amount of detail and a look at various related tools and topics. Chris did a lot of research and put a lot of effort into producing this podcast. I find it to be a particularly clear and lucid explanation of the basic principles of programming with threads.
This is a far better-than-normal piece of work, so I feel it is worth mentioning here so that interested people can check it out, Go to www.awaretek.com/python/index.html and just click on the top podcast in the list of podcasts there.
