Threading Is Not A Model
We have many concurrency/multiprocessing capabilities at our finger tips, such as threads, processes, locks, mutexes, select, epoll, transactional memory, etc. But none of them are a model for multiprocessing, they are only tools on which you would build an implementation of such a model. So what are the models we can choose from? How would they be implemented in Python? And how do they relate to the principle of sufficient irritation?

Joe, any chance you’d be willing to post the slides from your talk?
Thanks!
Michael
I thought the presenter made a good point that if there are design patterns, the language is missing something, and he showed how threading was one such case. I thought there could have been more material though.
Dirk, Sorry you were disappointed with the talk. If I give it again I will definitely update the description to make the scope of the talk clearer.
I was very disappointed with this talk. I expected to learn something substantive about concurrent programming in python, and instead I got a long winded discursion about pretty much everything but.
