I have written several Python async "frameworks" starting from select.epoll(). It's only a handful of lines of code (plus an AVL tree implementation for timers). Then, I've had to implement the protocols myself because the standard library implementations aren't amenable to async processing. Now, I've taken a brief look at the new asyncio and it looks as if it has everything one would hope for (and then some). You'd still need to supply the protocol implementations yourself. Since the async framework is such a small piece of the puzzle and since the edge-triggered mode of select.epoll() is a nicer programming model than asyncio provides, I might stick with epoll. (Yes, it is specific to linux.) Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
