Candygram: a Python implementation of Erlang concurrency primitives

Candygram "is a Python implementation of Erlang concurrency primitives. Erlang is widely respected for its elegant built-in facilities for concurrent programming. This package attempts to emulate those facilities as closely as possible in Python. With Candygram, developers can send and receive messages between threads using semantics nearly identical to those in the Erlang language." Via Simon

Nice to hear that serious concurrency is spreading out of the usual functional languages. It seem that there are even a couple of guys implementing actor based concurrency in ruby IIRC.

But I guess if this should be something given from the core language designers instead of esternal indipendent people.
