Hello python-ideas,
Here's my proposal to add async/await in Python.
I believe that PEPs 380 and 3156 were a major breakthrough for Python 3,
I am also interested in this topic --- from the other side. As a teacher of python it is my finding that the terminology/documentation around generators is rather chaotic and messy. Basically given: def foo(): yield 1 bar = foo()
what do we call foo and what do we call bar? It is suggested that foo is "generator-function" and bar is "generator-object"
Correct.
Unfortunately python does not aid this distinction; witness
def foo():
... yield 1 ...
bar = foo() type(foo)
<class 'function'>
type(bar)
<class 'generator'> I asked about this on the python list http://code.activestate.com/lists/python-list/682286/
There is a set of functions in the inspect module to help with runtime introspection:
inspect.isfunction() inspect.isgenerator() inspect.isgeneratorfunction()
And it seems that many more dark corners emerged in the docs on this subject in that discussion.
Should I start a separate thread?
I think that yes, this has to be a different thread.
Async/await thread is specifically to discuss PEP 492.
Thanks, Yury
