Hi Chris. I downloaded ZASync and did a bit of reading and comparing
between your Stepper product as well. ZASync at present relies on an
older version of Twisted which is now I think into the 2 series so
maybe later the products will come together this way. I think Stepper
is really interesting.I think it would be a really good thing to see
fire and forget with a process you create as a series of steps that can
also be queued in one or more queues.
I also think there is some interesting possibility for something like a
Zope instance Stepper where you could trigger a generic daemon to run a
thread to process asynchronous tasks (steps) without a ZEO requirement.
The asynchronous jobs could be queued for long running tasks outside of
zope or timed to inject the step requests into zope for the maintenance
of a zope instance (in the same vein as ClockServer) but in a single
product.
Regards,
David

Hi David,
Just a note in passing to say that what you're really after in this
case is Gary Poster's ZASync. Gary's talked to me about getting
Stepper (which is basically batch processing triggered via cron using
a ZEO connection) to do the work of processing ZAsync's queue, which
would be cool, but I don't know if either of us has the need/time to
make that happen...
