R. David Murray added the comment: I thought you might be interested to know what the name suggests to a relative newcomer to asyncio.
When I saw this issue opened, I though "oh, good, an easy way to submit a coroutine from a thread in my test code, now I don't have to write 'loop.call_soon_threadsafe(loop.create_task, my_coroutine(loop=loop))". Which I suspect you are going to tell me is stupid code, but the point is that that's what the name 'call_coroutine_threadsafe' made me think it was going to do. After reading the linked issue I was very confused about what it was actually going to do, as I've never gotten around to looking up what ensure_future does. If I'm understanding correctly now, I think my assumption was pretty much correct, and the only difference is that I get back something I can actually manipulate if I need to, making it even better, and which the documentation should make clear when I get to read it :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25304> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
