if you're talking about setting these when building _ldap then, no,
I don't think that's right. Different platforms have different ways of doin=
g
threads. The autoconf way currently uses the options and libraries
that python itself was using when it was compiling its builtin modules,
so you don't need any more or any less.
_ldap does not use the platform thread api (and nor should it).
there is (or should be) sufficient communication between _ldap and python
about blockable points to make it work with and without threads.
I am led to believe from the python documentation that that's the right way=
=2E
so, python-ldap should link and work with threads as it stands now.
the ldap libraries may not be thread safe, but that's another issue..
(but you've addressed that somewhat at the python level)
