I cannot import it unless a corresponding extension implementation is plugined underneath the Python VM. > Certainly anything involving sockets or signals is > going to be a lot slower. Indeed, but I can "import signal" or "import socket" wherever I go, without worrying about requiring (or worse yet, having to bundle) a CPython plugin (presuming I am even running on top of CPython). I am hoping for something which does not require a context switch (or worse) for every wait/notify. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
