Arvind, 

I noticed your post over on the SWIG list. I can't help but wonder just how 
valuable those thread routines in C are to you... You would save yourself a 
great headache (not to mention maintainability nightmares) if you ported 
your socket routines to python. It's not hard you know. Plus you can wield 
python's super-powers :)

Out of curiosity, are you making a distributed, decentralized file-sharing 
network? :)
