I think there's value in having a simple, explicit way of saying "I want to run this function in a thread" without having to know what executors are. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38306> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
