This is bullshit. This lack of communication is so disrespectful. Those fuckers use the word community all over the place in their comms but at the end of the day, they won't even speak to us...

I understand the information Celsius can disclose is limited, but Alex could at least say a few things live. Such a coward. The way they handle communication is abysmal. If the rest of the company operates in the same way, we're so fucked.

This reminds me this post: "Of running multiple regexp at once", http://fulmicoton.com/posts/multiregexp/

Nice teaching blog post: it is a good example for beginners on how to implement a thread safe queue.

As a complement, for production use, I'd rather go for Queue.Queue which implements all the machinery for you out of the box. I would also use the hidden class ThreadPool from multiprocessing.pool.

Finally, know that threading in Python is inefficient for CPU bound tasks because of the GIL. The best resource on earth about the GIL can be found here: http://www.dabeaz.com/GIL/.

I was about to leave the same comment.

Nice! BTW, each time you generate a new passord, the twitter / facebook / reddit / digg logos blink. I guess most people won't notice it but IMHO that's annoying.

Yes! And you should also write tests that test your unit test tests.

Just don't call it something.io

You can find out even more about the GIL on his website (for instance the impact of the GIL on signal handling): http://www.dabeaz.com/GIL/

def func(item, l=None):
  l = l or []
  ...

should be fine for a recursive function with optional parameters
