Yuri, please give up this particular issue (trying to patch CPython to record whether a generator is in a finally clause). I have failed to explain my reasons why I think it is a bad idea, but you haven't convinced me it's a good idea, and we have at least two decent work-arounds. So let me just use the release cycle as an argument: your patch is a new feature, 3.3 just came out, so it cannot be introduced until 3.4. I don't want to wait for that.
OK, NP. One question: what do we actually want to get? What're the goals? - A specification (PEP?) of how to make stdlib more async-friendly? - To develop a separate library that may be included in the stdlib one day? - And what's your opinion on writing a PEP about making it possible to pass a custom socket-factory to stdlib objects? I'm (and I think it's not just me) a bit lost here, after reading 100s of emails on python-ideas. And I just want to know where to channel my energy and expertise ;) - Yury
