Perhaps I don't quite understand your needs, but the standard
Semaphore object in the threading module claims to support counting:

http://docs.python.org/lib/semaphore-objects.html

I haven't used it myself yet but the Python docs have never promised
me anything that didn't work as described (yay!). I guess I must be
missing something.
