Thanks to those of you who tried this out. I managed to get another day to work on it, and I'm satisfied that what I have now is a major improvement from the previous (non-threaded) version. I've tested it fairly thoroughly under Linux (I do have a test suite, but a lot of the checks have to be visual) and have had good reports from others under Windows. I've decided to go ahead and release it. We'll definitely be using it here this winter term.

The newest version improves on the beta version I sent out earlier by adding some important error checking. This version should not leave any hanging threads. Anyone who wants to update to the newest version can find it on my Python page:

I've also updated the documentation there to match the newest version.

I forget if there's a test suite of programs, or something else you run to
decide whether it's ready for prime time. I've got some graphics.py
dependents around, e.g. that cellular automata stuff we did awhile back,
plus other stuff I worked on with Bernie.


I've stashed your code in my Python24 site-packages on WinXP.  Compaq
(Linux) has showed signs of trouble ever since the Ubuntu fiasco.  Then
there's TMU running Mandrake 10.1 -- haven't fired up Samba on that one yet
to make it part of my network neighborhood.
