Nick Coghlan added the comment: After trying out some example code in issue 24578, I've changed the suggestion function name to "call_async". The reason is because it makes this kind of code read quite well:
futureB = asyncio.call_async(slow_io_bound_operation) futureC = asyncio.call_async(another_slow_io_bound_operation) a = calculateA() b = asyncio.wait_for_result(futureB) c = asyncio.wait_for_result(futureC) And still reads well when combined with await: b = await asyncio.call_async(blocking_operation) ---------- title: [RFE] Add asyncio.call_in_executor API -> [RFE] Add asyncio.call_async API _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24571> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
