Trent can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it boiled down to challenges with the POSIX implementation (that email thread implies this as well), likely coupled with limited time for Trent to work on it. -eric _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
