However, the flip side of this is that no one really "likes" the threading API as-is, so putting the module into the standard library with the matching API simply adds another "broken" API. Provided threading gets a PEP 8 style API in 2.6 (which it looks like it is going to), then I don't see a problem with multiprocessing only providing the new API. Cheers, Nick.

Fantastic. If no one has any other arguments to the contrary, I'll run with the new API naming scheme.

Now I have a lot of tests and documentation to rewrite.
