This is just my personal opinion, but I suspect that this is perhaps because people have *tried* threading more in Python than in many other languages, because Python makes it particularly easy. I've certainly had the experience that multithreaded stuff I have tried has sometimes had problems under various OSes (Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, etc) due to operating system bugs with threading in general rather than Python problems per se. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
