>From the couple responses I've seen, I must have not made myself clear. Let's skip specific hypothetical tasks. Using coroutines, futures, or other programming paradigms that have been introduced in recent versions of Python 3.x, can traditionally event-driven code be written in a more linear manner so that the overall algorithms implemented in the code are easier to follow? My code is not multi-threaded, so using threads and locking is not really part of the picture. In fact, I'm thinking about this now precisely because the first sentence of the asyncio documentation mentions single-threaded concurrent code: "This module provides infrastructure for writing single-threaded concurrent code using coroutines, multiplexing I/O access over sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives."
I'm trying to understand if it's possible to use coroutines or objects like asyncio.Future to write more readable code, that today would be implemented using callbacks, GTK signals, etc. S -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
