I think there are actually two separate issues here and it's important to keep them distinct: at a low level, there is a need for a standardized event loop, while at a higher level there is a question of what asynchronous code should look like.
Yes, yes. I tried to bring up thing distinction. I'm glad I didn't completely fail.
Perhaps this is obvious to others, but (like hinted at above) there seem to be two primary issues with event handlers: 1) event handlers for the machine-program interface (ex. network I/O) 2) event handlers for the program-user interface (ex. mouse I/O) While similar, my gut tell me they have to be handled in completely different way in order to preserve order (i.e. sanity). This issue, for me, has come up with wanting to make a p2p network application with VPython. MarkJ
