The problem is that the burden of maintenance falls on us (core CPython developers), while none of us and probably 99.99% of our userbase have absolutely no use for the "functionality". Perhaps there's a simpler, cruder way to "support" threads-less platforms. For example a Python/thread_nothreads.h where PyThread_start_new_thread() would always fail (and with trivial implementations of locks and TLS keys). But I'm not sure how much it would help those porting attempts. Regards Antoine.
