Stackless Python is an enhanced version of the Python programming language. It allows programmers to reap the benefits of thread-based programming without the performance and complexity problems associated with conventional threads. The microthreads that Stackless adds to Python are a cheap and lightweight convenience which can if used properly, give the following benefits:
* Improved program structure.
* More readable code.
* Increased programmer productivity.
"python-safethread is a large modification of CPython intended to provide safe, easy, and scalable concurrency mechanisms. It focuses on local concurrency, not distributed or parallel programs."
"Submit a series of batch commands (as expected by the os.system() function). Each will be submitted in a separate python thread, but will be a separate process, hence will take advantage of multi-core cpu's."
