Re: [Quickfix-developers] QuickFIX Python and Twisted

The allow threads macros I believe were explicitly designed for  
blocking IO calls, you can read mode about it here: http:// 
www.gmu.edu/mlnavbar/webdev/doc-python/api/threads.html

I would think that an IO library like one that does database queries  
is most likely aware of this and will implement these macros.  As  
long as they do, it should not be a problem since we called the end  
macro, they would be able to call the begin macro, then the end  
macro, allowing us to call the begin macro again.
