> I don't have much experience in that area, so I can't judge if it's as cool as I think it is. Will anyone help me out? It is quite cool. Strictly speaking, it doesn't have to be in standard library, but Python has always had a batteries-included mentality anyway. Besides, it offers a more sane way to parallelize execution than mutexes, and that mentality should be encouraged. The entire java.util.concurrent.* library is quite good, actually. No shame in porting it.
