We expect that you would have seen dramatic performance and stability improvements between 0.14 and 0.15. Other improvements are Python 3.4 support, MacOS and Windows support, and more robust install with pip <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_(package_manager)>.

Issue reports <https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/new> are very helpful for us, particularly in learning where are expectations of developer-user experience are not congruent with actual developer-user experience. We can file issues all day about what we think is missing in gRPC Python and still be in the dark about what you think is missing in it <http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/03/rumsfelds-knowns-and-unknowns-the-intellectual-history-of-a-quip/359719/> . -Nathaniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
