Module twisted.python.threadable

A module that will allow your program to be multi-threaded, micro-threaded, and single-threaded. Currently microthreads are unimplemented. The idea is to abstract away some commonly used functionality so that I don't have to special-case it in all programs.

Exceptions
`ThreadableError`

Function Summary
	`init(with_threads)` Initialize threading.
	`isInIOThread()` Are we in the thread responsable for I/O requests (the event loop)?
	`registerAsIOThread()` Mark the current thread as responsable for I/O requests.
	`synchronize(*klasses)` Make all methods listed in each class' synchronized attribute synchronized.
	`whenThreaded(cb)`

Variable Summary
`NoneType`	`ioThread`
`list`	`threadCallbacks`
`int`	`threaded`

Function Details

init(with_threads=1)

Initialize threading. Should be run once, at the beginning of program.

isInIOThread()

Are we in the thread responsable for I/O requests (the event loop)?

registerAsIOThread()

Mark the current thread as responsable for I/O requests.

synchronize(*klasses)

Make all methods listed in each class' synchronized attribute synchronized.

The synchronized attribute should be a list of strings, consisting of the names of methods that must be synchronized. If we are running in threaded mode these methods will be wrapped with a lock.
