All versions of Windows >= Win95 use threads heavily, have very solid thread support, and the Win32 API was thread-aware from the start Thread _scheduling_ is pretty bizarre <= WinME, but process scheduling is too. Don't try to use hundreds of threads <= WinME and you should be fine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
