Works quite well, is easy enough to use. If you absolutely must have python 3.4, I don't know. asyncio for python33 is available on pypi [2]. Don't know if this is exactly compatible with 3.4 though. [1] https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/ [2] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asyncio Thank you Elias, SCL worked perfectly. Installed Python 3.3 then installed the asyncio module from pypi. I was a little afraid about where the module would be installed but it was smart enough. I simply scl enable python33 bash *before* building/installing the module. Now I can show my students the very latest in asynchronous network programming. Software Collections is a great idea. It really addresses and solves one of the biggest issues of rhel/centos. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
