Subject: thread problem on Linux

Hello!
I have an account on some Linux machine in school, so I thought I
would test Python's portability, one of the reasons why I love it. I
use OS/2, so I only had experience with Python on OS/2, but I
assumed everything should work the same on Linux.
There was Python 1.5.1 on the Linux machine. My first problem was
that it didn't have the thread module. So I downloaded the most
recent RPM of Oliver Andrich with Python 1.5.2 for Linux, but
because I don't have sufficient rights on the machine to install the
whole RPM, I only extracted the one executable file to my home
directory and tried again. The thread module is there, but doesn't
work! thread.start_new_thread doesn't throw an exception, but the
new thread simply doesn't run. When I accidentally pressed Ctrl+D,
it seemed to run for a while, but then the whole script froze.
Would somebody please have an idea of what could be wrong? I admit
that my knowledge of Unix is very limited, so perhaps this is an
issue with Linux????
Bye, Vaclav/2. (vdhome at idas.cz)
