It's a new feature of Python 3.3. I added it to skip a test on old FreeBDB, see
test_threadsignal.py:
------------------------
USING_PTHREAD_COND = (sys.thread_info.name == 'pthread'
and sys.thread_info.lock == 'mutex+cond')
...
@unittest.skipIf(USING_PTHREAD_COND,
'POSIX condition variables cannot be interrupted')
def test_lock_acquire_interruption(self):
------------------------
It is also used in test_os.py:
---------------
if hasattr(sys, 'thread_info') and sys.thread_info.version:
USING_LINUXTHREADS = sys.thread_info.version.startswith("linuxthreads")
else:
USING_LINUXTHREADS = False
---------------
This "linux threads" check does already exist in Python 3.2, but is uses:
---------------
libpthread = os.confstr("CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION")
USING_LINUXTHREADS= libpthread.startswith("linuxthreads")
---------------
See also the doc:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/sys.html#sys.thread_info
