For reasons unknown, I am having a go at fixing: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-217 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-177 One of the problems in making these changes and in the maintainability of the mod_python code base is that it still tries to support a Python installation that has deliberately not had thread support built in. >From what I have seen it has now been many years since any distribution has deliberately disabled threading in Python. Last platform to do it were some of the BSD platforms, but these days they build with threaded Python as far as I know. Consequently, I would like to drop the code which supports a non threaded Python installation. This would get rid of a whole bunch of #if conditionals and code variants and make making changes to Python a lot easier. As is, don't know that the unthreaded code has even been tested for a release since 3.1.X days and thus it may not even work anyway. Because of this and nature of changes being made, would also like to bump version for mod_python in subversion up to 3.4.X as it isn't going to be a trivial bug fix relative to 3.3.1. Comments.
