I found some informations about SysV semaphores on FreeBSD in a Firebird patch, which means that Firebird uses SysV semaphores on FreeBSD :-) (at least in Debian/kFreeBSD). > Almost every FreeBSD user I know of compiles a new kernel.

The question is more who would like to implement SysV semaphores in Python :-) I don't know anything about these semaphores. http://bugs.python.org/issue10348 Victor _______________________________________________ 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
