Short version: - there are some reasonable requests for async variants of contextlib APIs for 3.7 - prompted by Raymond, I'm thinking it actually makes more sense to add these in a new `asyncio.contextlib` module than it does to add them directly to the existing module - would anyone object strongly to my asking authors of the affected PRs to take their changes in that direction?
Both asynccontextmanager and AsyncExitStack do not require asyncio is their implementations. Using asyncio as a helper to write tests is totally OK. For example, I use asyncio to test asynchronous generators (PEP 525).
async/await is a generic language feature; asyncio is a framework that uses it. Things like asynccontextmanager are framework agnostic, they can be used in programs built with asyncio, Twisted, Tornado, etc.
+1 to put both in contextlib. Yury _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
