New submission from Nikolaus Rath <nikol...@rath.org>:

According to http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#condition-objects, 
threading.Condition is a class. However, in fact it turns out to be function 
that constructs a _Condition instance.

I don't know the reason for that, but it seems to me that either Condition 
should be a class, or the reason for it being a function should be documented 
so that people who I would like to inherit from Conditionknow if that is not 
supported, or if they can safely inherit from _Condition instead.
