Pause Self, Resume on Event

[downs]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.


I tried this once, and _believe me_, you do _not_ want to go down this route.

Use proper threading primitives. By which I mean, tools.threads and its POSIX/Win32 Semaphores and Mutexes.

It even already has a threadpool :)

 --downs

PS: The reason you don't want to go down this route is because you're interfering with the GC's own pause/resume schemes and inviting a world of race conditions and hard to find bugs.
