Sometimes I just include a copy of asyncio in my code, and use sys.path tricks, but in that case I can just grab the code I need from the latest Python source code or asyncio github, so yet again no need for PyPI package. That being said, I wish I could install a package from PyPI and it would override the stdlib version. My code is deployed in Ubuntu 14.04 in production, and I can't easily install Python 3.5 in it. But that is a separate discussion, I guess. > > Victor > > 2016-03-26 0:41 GMT+01:00 Guido van Rossum <[email protected]>: > > Maybe because Python 3.3 is no longer getting new releases either? > > Probably most people just use the asyncio from the stdlib and are > > happy with it. > > > > On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 5:37 AM, Victor Stinner > > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> * The latest asyncio release is now one year old: asyncio 3.4.3 was > >> released at 2015-03-10. > >> * Python 3.5.1 was released at 2015-12-07. > >> * Python 3.5.0 was released at 2015-09-13. > >> > >> Is there a reason why no new asyncio version was released on the cheese > shop? > >> > >> I guess that we have to find the Git tag which matchs Python 3.5.1, > >> write a changelog and build Windows binary wheels? > >> > >> My Windows VM is no more able to build Windows binary wheels.
