My problem with _overlapped is mostly that it required a compiler. I’m idly considering what it’d take to give pip some concurrency and one of the requirements there is that we can’t depend on anything that isn’t in the standard library of 2.6, 2.7, 3.2+ or can’t be bundled inside of pip and is pure Python. Most likely this will end up being threads but I really don’t like threads much and It occurred to me it may be possible to bundle Trollius. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
