Yes. The things to avoid are described at the bottom of: http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html On platforms without threads, 'import threading' will fail. There's a standard library module dummy_threading which offers fake versions of the facilities in threading. It suggests: try: import threading as _threading except ImportError: import dummy_threading as _threading --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
