Raymond Hettinger d3b0babf66 SF bug #1013760: Error in Chapter 4 of Tutorial
Fit a nit.
2004-08-22 15:24:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger d3fe2395b4 Minor improvements to the threading introduction:
* Expand the example to show a join.

* Mention the use case of I/O running concurrent with a computational
  thread.

* Be a tad more forceful about recommending Queue over other approaches
  to synchonization.

* Eliminate discussion around having a single interpreter.  This is a
  more advanced discussion that belongs in the library reference and
  in a section on extending and embedding.
