Well, more specifically, atomic update without locking, but I counted the LOCK prefix as locking while other people didn't, and that caused some confusion. Of course I'm aware of the LOCK prefix but it slows down the instruction enormously compared with a non-locked instruction. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
