Getting rid of the process-global state like this simplifies testing (both testing of the executors themselves and of application code which uses them). It also eliminates the unpleasant interpreter shutdown/module globals interactions that have plagued a number of stdlib systems that keep global state.

Ok the new patch is submitted @ http://code.google.com/p/pythonfutures/issues/detail?id=1

Cool, thanks.

*note there are 2 tests that fail and 1 test that dead locks on windows even without this patch, the deadlock test I am skipping in the patch and the two that fail do so for a reason that does not make sense to me.

I'll investigate but I don't have convenient access to a windows
machine.

Cheers, Brian
