We've already departed from that. Our Lock is nothing like a mutex, for example (it's more of a binary semaphore). We follow POSIX when exposing POSIX APIs (as in the os module), but otherwise we have our own abstractions, for example the 3.x I/O stack. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8800> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
