Me too. The PyThread_*_sema routines are not used, and I would recommend that you not bother implementing them at all. (If anyone used them, we would have heard a complaint -- in some thread implementations these return -1 for failure, in others 0. :-) We should cut these out of the sources. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
