Also, there's a great introduction at http://krondo.com/?page_id=1327 ; which unfortunately comes wrapped as a twisted tutorial ;) (You can stop reading a while in when it becomes twisted-specific).
That's a great description (even the parts about Twisted ;) ) - bookmarked. Thanks! My one dislike about the general introduction is the sole focus on I/O. In its context (as a Twisted intro) this is entirely understandable, but I'm afraid some people may come away thinking that async never involves threads. (Not that waiting on a thread is any different to waiting on I/O. Thread parallelism is a completely different concept, of course.) Cheers, Steve
