I see. Apparently the threading and embedding docs don't cover your case. The docs at http://docs.python.org/c-api/init.html#thread-state-and-the-global-interpreter-lock and http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html should explain how and when to initialize Python threads. Please report a documentation bug at http://bugs.python.org/. Christian PS: I know a great way to learn more about Python's internal threading CAPI: fix your code, test it and attach a doc patch to your bug report. *hint* :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
