Cool! This is excellent. This means that I stand a shot at getting rid of 200 miserable MB of VC++ on my machine.
I presume this means that Cygwin Python ships with threads enabled?
No I forgot to mention that this is with a locally compiled Python that hasn't had threading disabled. ie % cd $PY_2_1_SRC % ./configure % make; make install Where the Python source is the current Cygwin distribution source < very minor mods from official tarball > Also note not everyone is having the same success with threading that I am < however I do not believe they are running Win2k sp2 > There are several of us trying to stomp an apparent race condition with earlier Windows distributions. Any simple test cases demonstrating the problem welcome < preferably C examples > $PY_2_1_src / Lib / test / test_threadedtempfile.py seems to be a good test to tickle the bug This seems tobe another good python test $ZOPE_2_4_1_src / lib / Components / ExtensionClass / test / regrtest.py Cheers Norman
