[issue3352] Deficiencies in multiprocessing/threading API

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com> added the comment:

Regarding the factory functions that are named as if they were classes,
Fredrik noted on python-dev that the ones from the threading module are
explicitly documented as being factory functions, and the
multiprocessing API really just follows that example (note that without
applying the patch from issue 3589, all of the names that are factory
functions in the threading API are also factory functions in the
multiprocessing API).

So perhaps the best course at this stage is to just leave these alone
for 2.6/3.0?
