Comment:
I think this looks good. I've added a patch above that calls this script
from the sage startup, as Gonzalo suggested. So I guess I'm positively
reviewing Gonzalo's code, but maybe someone should rubber-stamp the code I
added that calls it.
However, it just occurred to me that we're switching to python 2.6 in the
next release -- and that means we need to switch to `multiprocessing`
instead of `processing`. I just read the documentation for
`multiprocessing` online, and I believe that checking that semaphores are
available will be even easier -- according to the first warning on this
page:
http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#introduction
all we need to do is `import multiprocessing.synchronize`, and it'll fail
if not.
So as soon as an alpha is out with the new python spkg in place, I'll go
ahead and update this patch -- it should probably wait to be merged until
then, but people are welcome to try it out now and offer other comments.
