Hi- I started this list & the concurrency section on the wiki http://wiki.python.org/moin/Concurrency after taking one of Dave Beazley's classes. Other folks & I wanted a place to discuss the kind of issues Brad discusses below, in a general and cross-toolkit context. I don't know why it never really took off, though I'd love to see it have more life.
Other possible topic includes: Python under Hadoop, MPI, data processing pipelines (generators). Should we just establish "Threads: you're doing it wrong" as a ground rule and be done with it? ;-P --Pete On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 10:49 AM, Brad Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > Python has a rich toolset for taking on concurrency challenges, and > many of these tools have their own mailing list.
