exceptions from daemon threads which access the global namespace atinterpreter shutdown (how to squelch output?)
I've got an application which makes fairly heavy use of daemon threads to perform 'background' processing and various other long-running tasks that are likely to block.

You should use the built-in open() function. codecs.open() is outdated in Python 3. As I expected, the utf-8 decoder chokes on s... 25 Apr 2010 01:58

I've got a number of dependencies and, if possible, I want to order them so that each item has its dependencies met before it is processed.
