Message85052
IIRC, there was a threat to remove asyncore because there were no
maintainers, no one was fixing bugs, no one was improving it, and no one
was really using it (I believe the claim was that people were just using
Twisted). The patches that were ultimately committed to 2.6 and 3.0
were committed 3 months prior to 2.6 release, after having languished
for over a year because no one would review them. If people care about
where asyncore/asynchat are going, then it is *their* responsibility to
at least make an effort in paying attention at least once every few
months or so.
The delayed calls feature discussed in the current bug doesn't alter the
behavior of previously existing code, except there are additional checks
for pending tasks to be executed. If people never use the call_later()
API, it is unlikely they will experience any difference in behavior.
If you are concerned about the sched module, I'd be happy to do a search
for it's use to verify that people aren't relying on it's internal
implementation, only the features of it's external API. |
