[Python-Dev] New PEP: 319

15 Jun 2003 17:54:37 -0400

there is also discussion at the moment of thread-synchronisation on
the stackless python list. people were considering ideas related to
futures and csp (influenced largely by the oz language, i think).
maybe stackless, with its stronger emphasis on threads, is the place
to iron out a really good solution to multi-threading before making
changes to standard python?
personal opinion: while java may be better than python in this respect
i think there are much better solutions out there. i'm a java
programmer and in my last project, which was multi-threaded, most bugs
came from threading issues. there seems to be a lot of research and
new ideas in this area and it would be a pity if python only matched
java, when there may be the possibility to surpass it...
