<p dir="ltr">Why not just expose "_chain_future()" from asyncio/futures.py to the public, instead of copying and pasting parts of it?</p>
<p dir="ltr">It already works, being used everywhere in the stdlib, it supports both asyncio and concurrent.futures, it's an easily testable external function (follows the design of asyncio for the better part), it's threadsafe right out of the box and it wouldn't require anything but removing a single underscore and adding documentation. (I always wondered why was it private anyway)</p>
<p dir="ltr">It's like the function was meant to be public :-P</p>

I’ve been bothered for a while about the lack of the ability to chain futures in python, such that the next future will execute upon the first’s completion. So I submitted a pr to do this.
