Nick Coghlan added the comment: It occurs to me that given both this API and the "call_async()" API now proposed in issue 24571, otherwise synchronous code can do things like:
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) Which still reads well when combined with await: b = await asyncio.call_async(blocking_operation) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24578> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
