I think the documentation should use another term than "asynchronous": "non-blocking" or "event-driven" would be fine. "Asynchronous" is loaded with various meanings and connotations which IMO make it the wrong term here. For example, in many contexts "asynchronous" means "does the job behind your back, e.g. in a worker thread". POSIX defines some asynchronous I/O APIs which are ostensibly not the same as non-blocking I/O: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/aio_read.html 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
