Synopsis

python-pthreading bug fix and enhancement update for RHV 4.0

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Updated python-pthreading packages are now available.

Description

The python-pthreading module provides Lock and Condition synchronization objects compatible with the Python native threading module. The implementation is based on the POSIX thread library as delivered by the libpthread and has considerable performance benefits over Python 2.x's implementation. Locking helps optimise the use of shared system resources.
