Tulip (the new async module) is nice. But I am a bit confused as to how it combines the IOCP model on Windows with the "readyness" signalling (epoll, kqueue) on Linux, *BSD and Apple. Because these paradigms are so inherently different, I don't see how both can be used effectively with the same client code. But Guido/BDFL is a smart guy and probably knows this better than me :) Another thing is that there is no IOCP support on Solaris, AIX and z/OS using Tulip, only Windows. But Windows is not the only OS with IOCP. I'd prefer that over /dev/poll any day (does Tulip use /dev/poll by the way?) Sturla -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
