While it's a worthwhile goal, I don't know if the final benefit is positive. I can see two ways to do it inside PyPy: either we tweak all built-in functions to call OS-provided non-blocking versions internally (which wouldn't be any less annoying than just patching all stdlib functions from app-level), or we spawn threads and run the blocking calls there (but then you have a big scalability issue). Ideally a mix of the two would be best, but I don't quite see how to work around *all* scalability issues. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
