Convincing everyone to agree on a single event loop API sounds hard.
Really? That was exactly the purpose of asyncio and PEP 484 (and Glyph helped a lot, so I kind of feel he has to some extent endorsed that design).
Sorry, that was partly referencing some discussion that happened at PyCon before the mailing list existed... Tornado and Curio both implement (partially) incompatible coroutine runners, and one of the questions that came up was that people are worried about this (for obvious reasons). I don't have a proposal for fixing this entirely, but this proposal seemed like a simple step that might at least make it possible in principle to write libraries that handled multiple coroutine runners. -n -- Nathaniel J.
