New submission from Martin Panter:
According to the documentation and tests, a negative value for the “workers”
parameter to compileall.compile_dir() should trigger ValueError. But if Python
is built with “configure --without-threads”, the parameter is not checked. So I
propose a patch to fix the implementation.
