Ah, yes, I misremembered. Thank you for the correction. I haven't used Deferred's cancellation support; I don't know how compatible it is with Future's cancellation support. > Futures may call their callbacks in any thread.

I assumed that implied some kind of internal .callFromThread() magic; I could be wrong. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
