Nick Coghlan added the comment: Actors are just as vulnerable to the "new threads/processes are expensive" issue as anything else, and by using a dynamic pool appropriately you can amortise those costs across multiple instances.
The point is to expose a less opinionated threading model in a more readily accessible way. Executors and futures are *very* opinionated about the communication channels you're expected to use (the ones the executor provides), while pools are just a resource management tool. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17140> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
