Hello, I would like to know if your approach is based on Python 2.x or 3.x. Python 3.x has new API provisions, in the I/O layer, for non-blocking I/O and it would be nice if your work could fit in that framework.

Do you imply that, with your work, read() and write() do allow you to benefit from async I/O? If so, how? Another question: what mechanism does it use internally? Is this mechanism accessible from the outside, so that people can e.g. integrate this inside a third-party event loop (Twisted, asyncore or whatever else)? The PEP should probably outline the additional APIs a bit more precisely and formally than it currently does. > > The Windows > > implementation uses ctypes to access the functions needed to control pipes > > in the kernel 32 DLL in an asynchronous manner. Sorry for the naive question (I'm not a Windows specialist), but does the allusion to "kernel32.dll" mean that it doesn't function on 64-bit variants? Thanks for your work, Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
