Anyway, it would be good to have input from representatives from Wx, Qt, Twisted and Tornado to ensure that the *functionality* required is all there (never mind the exact signatures of the APIs needed to provide all that functionality).
And of course tk/tkinter (tho perhaps we can represent that). It occurs to me that while i/o (file/socket) events can be added to a user (mouse/key) event loop, and I suspect that some tk/tkinter apps do so, it might be sensible to keep the two separate. A master loop could tell the user-event loop to handle all user events and then the i/o loop to handle one i/o event. This all depends on the relative speed of the handler code. -- Terry Jan Reedy
