[Python-Dev] threading.Semaphore()'s counter can become negative for non-ints (original) (raw)

import threading s = threading.Semaphore(0.5) But why would you want to pass a float? It seems like API abuse to me.

If something should be changed, Semaphore(arg) should raise a TypeError if arg is not an integer.
