Josiah Carlson <josiahcarl...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
IIRC, there was a threat to remove asyncore because there were no maintainers, no one was fixing bugs, no one was improving it, and no one was really using it (I believe the claim was that people were just using Twisted). The patches that were ultimately committed to 2.6 and 3.0 were committed 3 months prior to 2.6 release, after having languished for over a year because no one would review them. If people care about where asyncore/asynchat are going, then it is *their* responsibility to at least make an effort in paying attention at least once every few months or so. The delayed calls feature discussed in the current bug doesn't alter the behavior of previously existing code, except there are additional checks for pending tasks to be executed. If people never use the call_later() API, it is unlikely they will experience any difference in behavior. If you are concerned about the sched module, I'd be happy to do a search for it's use to verify that people aren't relying on it's internal implementation, only the features of it's external API. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1641> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
