Tim Peters added the comment: [Guido] > Why was task management ever added?
Raymond published a "joinable" queue class as a recipe here: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/475160-taskqueue/ and later folded it into the standard Python queue. So the usual answer applies: "it was easy to add and sometimes useful, so it seemed like a good idea at the time" ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14976> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
