AFAIK it will be done for NetBSD if -current's thread implementation is=20
mature enough. For other systems (with native pthreads) lang/python22 is=20
already built with threading support.
What's IMHO really needed (to also get rid off python*-pth) is a clean way=20
to find out if the installed Python has threading support or not. Without=20
doing some ldd/grep (black-)magic. IMHO a Makefile knob like=20
USE_PYTHON_THREADED=3DYES instead of requiring a specific python*-pth =
version=20
would be best.
