Hello python-dev,
This is probably worth of a bug report: While looking at threading.py I noticed that Semaphore's counter can go below zero. This is opposed to the docs: "The counter can never go below zero; ...". Just try: import threading s = threading.Semaphore(0.5)
But why would you want to pass a float? It seems like API abuse to me.
-- Regards, Benjamin
