I put together a quick example of how this can be implemented in
gremlin-python. Obviously the example is incomplete, but hopefully it can help
move the discussion forward:
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/commit/aa85a9b5278c55aa28014aa135c8498428295071
These changes result in the following APIs depending on which Python future
is returned by the driver, but the GLV doesn't care as long as it supports
Python's common future API:
- Tornado w/Python 2.7+ returning a `tornado.concurrent.Future`
```python
@gen.coroutine
def go():
vertices = yield g.V().promise(lambda x: x.toList())
assert len(vertices) == 6
count = yield g.V().count().promise(lambda x: x.next())
assert count == 6
loop.run_sync(go)
```
- Asyncio/Tornado with Python 3.5 async/await syntax returning
`asyncio.Future` or `tornado.concurrent.Future`
```python
async def go():
vertices = await g.V().promise(lambda x: x.toList())
assert len(vertices) == 6
count = await g.V().count().promise(lambda x: x.next())
assert count == 6
loop.run_until_complete(go())
```
- Driver with Python 2.7+ that returns `concurrent.futures.Futures` (or
backport)
```python
def go():
vertices = g.V().promise(lambda x: x.toList()).result()
assert len(vertices) == 6
count = g.V().count().promise(lambda x: x.next()).result()
assert count == 6
```
