Good idea! But...

There is no event handle used in Event object (for NT at least). Do not
know about Linux...

Unless you want to rewrite the interpreter (namelly
PyThread_allocate_lock.c) for platforms you are talking about, you
would be better of, if you create your own class (derived from Event,
and ovewritte aquire, release and wait methods).
