I think we should give screwtape an SVN account and make him an official reviewer. He's been doing a lot of work on the distutils code which would be made easier by that, and he's been doing pretty decent reviews. Thoughts? (Feel free to voice any comments off-list, too.) _

We have quite a bit of Twisted/Windows code and it has all been ported over to 2.5 or 2.6. I find it easier to upgrade Pythons on Windows since the bulk of our Windows products are shipped as py2exe containing their own interpreter. Cleaner than dealing with CentOS (for example) which has 2.4

I dont know if twisted can really be counted as a scheduler. Its purpose is more to do with nonblocking IO. To improve IO performance in stackless you would need to add multiplexing to its scheduler(if it doesnt already have it). http://eventlet.net/ seems to to this. Dan On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 9

[Twisted-Python] Stackless.py and Twisted

2010-06-09 Thread Andrew Francis
Hi Folks: My talk "Prototyping Go's Select for Stackless with Stackless.py" recently got accepted to EuroPython. In the talk, I modified stackless.py to support the Go language's Select statement. I support Select as a method rather than a Python language feature. Implementing Select turns out
