Re: Await expressions (Posting On Python-List Prohibited)

Funny source code tells me IOCP is used; proactor is only implemented on Windows with IOCP. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.12/Lib/asyncio/proactor_events.py But maybe the focus is more on networking than file system. But it has sock_sendfile() that might avoid copying data to usersp

The docu tells me: Windows loop.add_reader() and loop.add_writer() only accept socket handles (e.g. pipe file descriptors are not supported). https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-platforms.html Alternatives are aiofiles and anyio and maybe more, but not sure whether they span all platforms,

I am still waiting for async files in the style of nodejs that works on windows and is bundled with the main python distribution. I am not very fond on doing something like adding listeners to a file descriptor, in nodejs async files are based on callbacks not on listeners. Whats the roadmap
