[Python-Dev] Another 1.6 wish

[Asbahr, Jason]

My first Python-Dev post.  :-)

What's the consensus about Python microthreads -- a likely candidate
for incorporation in 1.6 (or later)?

Also, we have a couple minor convenience functions for Python in an 
MSDEV environment, an exposure of OutputDebugString for writing to 
the DevStudio log window and a means of tripping DevStudio C/C++ layer
breakpoints from Python code (currently experimental).  The msvcrt 
module seems like a likely candidate for these, would these be 
welcome additions?

Thanks,
