I find asyncore to be quite useful, however, it is currently geared to having a single main loop. It uses a global socket map that all asyncore dispatchers register with. I have an application in which I want to have multiple socket maps. I propose that we start moving toward a model in which selection of a socket map and control of the asyncore loop is a bit more explicit. If no one objects, I'll work up some initial patches. Who should I submit these to? Sam? Should the medusa public CVS form the basis? Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Python Powered!
