Abstract
Python currently has powerful primitives to construct multi-threaded
applications but parallelizing simple functions requires a lot of
setup work i.e. explicitly launching threads, constructing a
work/results queue, and waiting for completion or some other
termination condition (e.g. exception, success). It is also hard to
manage the global . This PEP proposes the addition
Python currently distinguishes between two kinds of integers
(ints): regular or short ints, limited by the size of a C long
(typically 32 or 64 bits), and long ints, which are limited only
by available memory. When operations on short ints yield results
that don't fit in a C long, they raise an error. There are some
other distinctions too. This PEP proposes to do away with most of
the differences in semantics, unifying the two types from the
perspective of the Python user.
