decorators vs GIL

[mudd at vex.net]

state machines and processes [and inter-process
communication/coordination]?  It sounds like you're saying the alternative
to threads is "home brewed" threads.  I don't follow.

Until recently linux implemented threads as processes.  I'm really not
concerned with how the threads are implemented in the thread library.  I
just don't want a language to prevent me from accessing the thread
library.
