The _Event class should be more careful with releasing its lock when
interrupted. A try/finally will do nicely. Maybe other classes need
this too, but since they manipulate more state it's less clear that
that is always the right thing, and I'm in a hurry.
Thread.__bootstrap(): ignore exceptions in the self.__delete() call in
the finally clause. An exception here could happen when a daemon
thread exits after the threading module has already been trashed by
the import finalization, and there's not much of a point in trying to
insist doing the cleanup in that stage.
This should fix SF bug ##497111: active_limbo_lock error at program
exit.
2.1.2 and 2.2.1 Bugfix candidate!
(has this gone into 2.1.2 yet?)
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.
A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
