Josiah Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I have an updated sched.py module which significantly improves the performance of the cancel() operation on scheduled events (amortized O(log(n)), as opposed to O(n) as it is currently). This is sufficient to make sched.py into the equivalent of a pair heap.
>From there, it's all a matter of desired API and features. My opinion on the matter: it would be very nice to have the asyncore loop handle all of the scheduled events internally. However, being able to schedule and reschedule events is a generally useful feature, and inserting the complete functionality into asyncore would unnecessarily hide the feature and make it less likely to be used by the Python community. In asyncore, I believe that it would be sufficient to offer the ability to call a function within asyncore.loop() before the asyncore.poll() call, whose result (if it is a number greater than zero, but less than the normal timeout) is the timeout passed to asyncore.poll(). Obviously the function scheduler would be written with this asyncore API in mind. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1641> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
