First a little background... I am in the process of researching and evaluating async/concurrency solutions for my company's web-servers.
Here is the state-of-the-art of concurrency in python: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obt-vMVdM8s * An awesome 45min lightning talk about the internals of the GIL and it's effects on threading. It's not pretty... Then there's the evolution of asynchronous frameworks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7R3-_ViNxk * A superb walk-through around the history of evolving approaches of usage of generators for async. We're still not there yet... And so we now have a proliferation of inconsistent approaches to doing non-blocking IO in Python... What to do? Our benevolent dictator to the rescue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOQLVm0-8Yg * The creator of Python himself, has been working on a solution, code-named "Tulip". An answer to all our problems... :) The bad news? It's not done yet... Slated for Python 3.4 due in feb.2014... The good news? It can be used as a library for Python 3.3! * Also, work is being done to shim it in Python 2.7 via existing event-lopp frameworks as polyfills... So, I am suggesting this be taken seriously as a research-project for future developments of web3py. :) -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
