I still haven't had time to read the whole thing yet (there's quite a lot to unpack here!) but I think that <https://github.com/twisted/tubes> might be of interest in examining ways to deal with backpressure that are more declarative; flows are set up ahead of time and then manipulated explicitly as flows, rather than relying on the imperative structure of pseudo-blocking in coroutines. I should note that while Tubes's present implementation is Twisted-specific, the Twisted-specific bits are all around the edges of the system. The core has been explicitly factored to be usable on any event-driven architecture, as long as you have a notion of backpressure and a way to ingest and send data. -glyph _______________________________________________ Async-sig mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/async-sig Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
