STINNER Victor added the comment: Even if it may be possible to support asyncore/asynchat and asyncio at the same time, I would prefer to drop asyncore/asynchat support to simplify the code.
The problem is that the API will be very different. asyncio has a different design. You don't instanciate a class to open a network connection, but you have to call "yield from loop.create_connection()" in a coroutine. We might provide helper blocking functions starting the server for us and then running the event loop until CTRL+c is pressed (or another event to stop to stop the loop). Rewriting smtpd with asyncio would allow to use it in an asyncio application. In 2015, I expect to see more and more applications using asyncio than asyncore/asynchat. Can we modify the issue title to "Rewrite smtpd with asyncio"? ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
