Nice-- I've found async/await really useful in C#/.NET and didn't realize it was making its way into Python (I'm still mostly writing Python 2.7 code here for availability reasons).
A little disappointed that it doesn't look like there's really support for it in the standard library's networking packages, though... hopefully more will be coming in 3.6 or 3.7?
- pixelmonkey 11y agoLots of pretty good aio libraries are being developed openly on Github in this organization: https://github.com/aio-libs https://github.com/aio-libs This includes lots of network libraries and database clients.
- tpetricek 11y agoThe fun thing is that you could do the same thing in C# before async/await :-). http://tomasp.net/blog/csharp-async.aspx/ http://tomasp.net/blog/csharp-async.aspx/

- brettcannon 11y agoThe way the standard library is managed in terms of new things is it needs to be proved in the community for a year or more before we consider adding it. Since async is so new it's a bit early to get be changing things until we see how the community chooses to approach this new style of programming.
