Module twisted.python.threadable

A module that will allow your program to be multi-threaded, micro-threaded, and single-threaded. Currently microthreads are unimplemented. The idea is to abstract away some commonly used functionality so that I don't have to special-case it in all programs.
Exceptions
ThreadableError  

Function Summary
  init(with_threads)
Initialize threading.
  isInIOThread()
Are we in the thread responsable for I/O requests (the event loop)?
  registerAsIOThread()
Mark the current thread as responsable for I/O requests.
  synchronize(*klasses)
Make all methods listed in each class' synchronized attribute synchronized.
  whenThreaded(cb)

Variable Summary
NoneType ioThread
list threadCallbacks
int threaded

Function Details

init(with_threads=1)

Initialize threading. Should be run once, at the beginning of program.

isInIOThread()

Are we in the thread responsable for I/O requests (the event loop)?

registerAsIOThread()

Mark the current thread as responsable for I/O requests.

synchronize(*klasses)

Make all methods listed in each class' synchronized attribute synchronized.

The synchronized attribute should be a list of strings, consisting of the names of methods that must be synchronized. If we are running in threaded mode these methods will be wrapped with a lock.
