AFAICT, Python's threading paradigm seems to be based on the assumption that alls threads spend most of their time blocking on I/O or some other event. In that case priorities don't matter. Priorities only matter if multiple threads are ready to run. -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
