But, Guido, I'm intrigued when you say:
: Note that the import statement should not be done in each thread but
: at the module level -- when two threads independently but
: simultaneously try to import a module, things get messed up.
Is this an isolated phenomena, or are there other pitfalls to multhithreaded
python programs? I've only used the python thread module a modest amount,
but I've been surprised by how much has worked.
