But shortly after, trying to create a new thread, I got:

 >>> t3 = T()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "<stdin>", line 2, in __init__
   File "c:\a\python23\lib\threading.py", line 384, in __init__
     self.__block = Condition(Lock())
   File "c:\a\python23\lib\threading.py", line 148, in Condition
     return _Condition(*args, **kwargs)
   File "c:\a\python23\lib\threading.py", line 154, in __init__
     if lock is None:
ValueError
 >>> t3 = T()
 >>> t3
<T(Thread-4, started)>
 >>> t3.id
5740
 >>> t
<T(Thread-2, started)>


So the exception managed to get to the new thread, even though
I called SetAsyncExc *before* the thread was even created.

Now _that's_ what I call "asynchronous". ;-)
