Well foe my usecase, the operation running is not in months or a really long time. As Avi mentionned above, that would be pointless. The upcoming operation is short enough and though we cannot assume that it will be the case when we are running the operation, we sensibly assume it will still be the case. This is more an extra check to not start an operation than either relying to check at the start or when query. It's both. > -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
