Hello everyone, from scenic Heathrow airport. It's time for another Twisted release, and this one has got some goodies. Included in this release are:
- better support for async/await coroutines in regards to exception and traceback handling;
- better support for reporting tracebacks in inlineCallbacks, now showing what you would expect in synchronous-like code
- the epoll reactor now no longer hard-locks when running out of file descriptors
- directory rendering in t.web works on Python 2 again
- manhole's colouriser is better at handling Unicode
- setting the groundwork for Python 3.7 support. Note that Python 3.7 is currently not a supported platform on any operating system, and may completely fail to install, especially on Windows.
You can get this hot, fresh Twisted for testing through PyPI:
pip install Twisted==18.7.0rc1
You can read the full changelog here:
Please do some testing, and if all goes well, 18.7 will release proper in a week.
