Not sure if this is related. But I found a "patch" to Python 2.4 to support adding "timeout" parameter to Semaphore.acquire() (http:// mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2003-November/013796.html).
However, when I try the "timeout" parameter on Python 2.5.1 running on Ubuntu 7.10 and I got an error of: acquire() got an unexpected keyword argument 'timeout' Is there a way to specify a timeout value to Semaphore.acquire(), or I have to implement my own "SuperSemaphore"?
