This is all true but the dispatching isn't used there actually. dispatching is being used in a polling manner to try to catch the thread running the tcl interpreter which someone tried to call into, the code then proceeds to do what you described. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3638> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
