A Semaphore might be "slow", but I'm not sure other primitives are faster. For the record, I tried another implementation using a critical section, and it's not significantly faster under a VM (even though MSDN claims critical sections are fast). Have you timed your solution? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11618> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
