Well I guess it was unsafe. The current documentation states: The underlying implementation in C is both fast and threadsafe. http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-random.html There is class for random number generation that is not thread safe and is included to allow reproducing sequences from previous versions. > Can I assume that everything > else without such notice is thread-safe? I doubt it. There is no indication that the email package uses any kind of locking. So multiple thread working on the same message will probably screw things up. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
