[Python-ideas] Make asyncio.get_event_loop a builtin

Hi all, Just a simple idea I wanted to bring forth. Although I know that you get a lot more asyncio control by importing the asyncio module itself, I'd like to see a way to make simple asynchronous applications without ever importing asyncio itself. To that end, I propose making asyncio.get_event_

Hi, You can use uvloop , for example, without using asyncio: import uvloop loop = uvloop.new_event_loop() loop.run_forever() Best regards, João Santos On Fri, 25 May 2018 at 02:42, Ken Hilton wrote: > On Tue May 22 22:08:40 (-0400), Chris Barker wrote: >

Re: [Python-ideas] Make asyncio.get_event_loop a builtin

asyncio.coroutine and async def are slightly different—not synonyms. The former defines a generator function and the latter defines a coroutine function. Generators and coroutines are very similar in Python (they share lots of code in the CPython implementation) but coroutines are preferred for asy

Re: [Python-ideas] Make asyncio.get_event_loop a builtin

Well that doesn't matter anyway. With breakpoint() we choose the debugger implementation, so we could do the same here. However, this would be addressing the wrong problem the problem is verbosity. asyncio s are already aware of that, since they are working on providing asycio.run() in 3.7. Now t
