First of all, I've made the Solaris-stuff from scratch out of the
tar.gz-source-archive file (Python-2.1.tgz) and threading is running
very well. Compiling was not as easy as within Linux, but that's
caused by our equipment.

I don't know whether it might be possible or even senseful only
copying threading.py to another system, because most of these moduls
rely on underlying C-modules. And even if you copy these modules, too,
they won't run under Solaris, do they.
