New submission from Floris Bruynooghe <floris.bruynoo...@gmail.com>:
I think it would allow for more pythonic code if the threading.Event and multiprocessing.Event classes had the __bool__ special attribute. This would allow doing "if e: ..." instead of "if e.is_set(): ...". This could be backported to 2.x really easily by just replacing __bool__ to __nonzero__.
