++10 I've been thinking about threads lately, and have come to the tentative conclusion that they're a solution which has outlived its usefulness for 99% of the use cases. Much like the Windows 3.1 model of memory usage, where all memory was shared, and apps promised not to step too hard on each other. Or the "640k is more memory than any application will ever need" notion. When you multiprocess, everything is private except those things you work at sharing. When you multithread, everything is shared, and you promise not to intentionally do anything too nasty with the ability. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
