[Python-Dev] Threaded asynchronous return from functions

often what I find wanting to do is to call a function, have it check
> it's arguments, possibly do some work and then return to the caller,
> but still do some extra processing right after that. Currently to
> accomplish such feat I need to separate the 'extra processing' bit
> into a separate function and call that in a separate thread. A nice
> convenience would be a function or statement that would allow to
> return a value from the current function, but still keep running its
> code (in a separate thread). Such approach could then be used in many
> places where async processing is required, such as GUI programming,
> XMLRPC, web applications, ... with less boilerplate and more obvious
> code flow.

This kind of topic is not suitable to python-dev.
Please ask this on the python-list mailing list, or eventually
on python-ideas.
(where someone will probably suggest you to use a nested function)
