Today's Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/articles/05/01/07/158236.shtml?tid=137) points to: "The Free Lunch Is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software" by Herb Sutter at "http://www.gotw.ca/publications/concurrency-ddj.htm".

Is Python a suitable language for concurrent programming? Should Python be a good language for concurrent programming? Python nicely satisfies several user needs now including teaching beginners, scripting, algorithm development, non time-critical code, and wrapping libraries. Which of these users will be needing concurrency? What is the state of programming theory for concurrency?
