I'll have a cleaned version to you by end of day, and by day, I mean by 10:00 EST :)

I've accepted your PEP. I think it still needs some clean-up and perhaps clarification of the agreement reached about API style, but there is nothing now that keeps you from implementing it! Hopefully you'll make the beta release early next week.

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. -jesse -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
