Hi all, I'm proud to announce the release of Trio v0.2.0. Trio is a new async concurrency library for Python that's obsessed with usability and correctness -- we want to make it easy to get things right. This is the second public release, and it contains major new features and bugfixes from 14 contributors. You can read the full release notes here: https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#trio-0-2-0-2017-12-06 Some things I'm particularly excited about are: - Comprehensive support for async file I/O - The new 'nursery.start' method for clean startup of complex task trees - The new high-level networking API -- this is roughly the same level of abstraction as twisted/asyncio's protocols/transports. Includes luxuries like happy eyeballs for most robust client connections, and server helpers that integrate with nursery.start. - Complete support for using SSL/TLS encryption over arbitrary transports. You can even do SSL-over-SSL, which is useful for HTTPS proxies and AFAIK not supported by any other Python library. - Task-local storage. - Our new contributing guide: https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing.html To get started with Trio, the best place to start is our tutorial: https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html It doesn't assume any prior familiarity with concurrency or async/await. Share and enjoy, -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- https://vorpus.org
