Well, I think the SYSV semaphores are either less limited or at least more adjustable. They've certainly been around longer in FreeBSD. The POSIX semaphore support is not enabled by default in FreeBSD 7, so I added loader.conf stuff to load them (as part of issue7272). I don't think the Python internals are using the SYSV semaphores though. SYSV functions have no underscore (e.g., semget) whereas POSIX do (semget). Also, I believe only POSIX has named semaphores.

I created the issue http://bugs.python.org/issue10348 to suggest this.
