I pictured it having an interface like:
while True:
selected_channel = select(quit_channel, request_channel)
if selected_channel is quit_channel:
return
elif selected_channel is request_channel:

That would also work, but I wondered if it would be used with
dispatch methods, like
dispatch_table = {
"quit": quit_function,
"request": request_function,
}
name, item = select(quit=quit_channel, request=request_channel)
dispatch_table[name](item)
But again, I cannot think of any use cases offhand that would benefit
from it. As it stands, I see Stackless being a basic framework of
low-level functionality. Solutions like 'select' are perhaps better
coded to address actual needs in custom frameworks built on the
low-level framework that is Stackless.
It's interesting seeing the comments about my post as it makes its
away around the sites I read. I've seen a few people comment that
Stackless is crippled because it doesn't support a way to select on
multiple channels. I've pointed out my solution, but those who
complained haven't said one thing or another about it.
