Asynchronous API I'm aware of (including other languages) typically allows to get "main" (which in asyncio is lazily created for main thread only), and "current". Sometimes there is also a convenient "global" which can be used when you want to do some async work outside. E.g. take a look at public API of Apple's Grand Central Dispatch, specifically `dispatch_get_current_queue`. Even Python's thread module allows to get "current_thread" instead of passing it into run callback and requiring a user to carry it around by hand. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26969> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
