Description:
 def _sync(timeout=None):
 """I will wait until all pending handlers cothreads have completed """

    evt = WeakEvent(auto_reset=False)

    # first ensure that any pending callbacks from worker threads have been delivered
    # these are calls of _fromMain()
    Callback(evt.Signal)
    evt.Wait(timeout=timeout)

    evt.Reset() # reuse

    # grab the current set of inprogress cothreads/events
    wait4 = set(_handlers)
    # because Spawn.Wait() can only be called once, remove them and
    # use 'evt' as a proxy for what I'm waiting on so that overlapping
    # calls to _sync() will wait for these as well.
    # However, this means that our failure will must cascade to subsequent
    # calls to _sync() before we complete.
    _handlers.clear()
    _handlers.add(evt)

    try:
        WaitForAll(wait4, timeout=timeout)
    except Exception as e:
        evt.SignalException(e) # pass along error to next concurrent _sync()
    else:
        evt.Signal()
