Another reason people don't realize it is that the PEP goes out of its way to avoid saying so. I understand that you (and Yuri) don't want to tie the PEP too tightly to the specific event loop implementation in asyncio.events.AbstractEventLoop, but ... that particular conflation isn't really what people are confused about. "coroutines" often brings up thoughts of independent tasks. Yuri may well know that "(Python has asymmetric coroutines, that's it)", but others have posted that this was a surprise -- and the people posting here have far more python experience than most readers will. Anyone deeply involved enough to recognize that this PEP is only about (1) a particular type of co-routine -- a subset even of prior python usage (2) used for a particular purpose (3) coordinated via an external scheduler will already know that they can substitute other event loops. Proposed second paragraph of the abstract: This PEP assumes that the asynchronous tasks are scheduled and coordinated by an Event Loop similar to that of stdlib module asyncio.events.AbstractEventLoop. While the PEP is not tied to any specific Event Loop implementation, it is relevant only to the kind of coroutine that uses "yield" as a signal to the scheduler, indicating that the coroutine will be waiting until an event (such as IO) is completed. -jJ -- If there are still threading problems with my replies, please email me with details, so that I can try to resolve them. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
