The problem is that I'm writing an RPC server that itself needs to make RPC calls. I can't be blocking on new clients connecting or existing clients sending requests while the server-side procedure is making its own RPC call out to somewhere else. I don't think an event loop would help, because a computationally slow procedure or one that makes a further RPC call would still block other clients. -- Jeremy _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
