Actually I really like the idea behind deferred, its just not the easiest to read and understand for others, and I don't want to be the only one maintaining my code. That being said 'yield=time-consuming' doesn't make sense to me. I'm using twisted (and AMP) for communication, not to offload processing, and some of the operations would be near-instant in a threaded context (obviously with the reactor running it has to wait till it gets picked up). _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
