I am looking for any questions, concerns or benchmarks python-dev has regarding the possible inclusion of the pyprocessing module to the standard library - preferably in the 2.6 timeline.

I think for inclusion in 2.6 it's to late. For 3.0, it's definitely too late - the PEP acceptance deadline was a year ago (IIRC).

As I am trying to finish up the PEP, I want to see if I can address any questions or include any other useful data (including benchmarks) in the PEP prior to publishing it. I am also intending to include basic benchmarks for both the processing module against the threading module as a comparison.

I'm worried whether it's stable, what user base it has, whether users (other than the authors) are lobbying for inclusion. Statistically, it seems to be not ready yet: it is not even a year old, and has not reached version 1.0 yet.
