I wanted to make everybody aware that I've posted a (rather long and
involved) PEP proposal for adding micro-threading to Python on
python-ideas for feedback and review.
In a nutshell, this proposal implements the Twisted Deferred/Reactor at
the C level so that the Python programmer gets the advantages that Twisted
offers without having to write their code in an event driven style. Thus,
legacy Python code not written in the Twisted style (Django, TurboGears,
WSGI apps) will gain the benefits of Twisted with almost no additional
work.
This PEP provides similar benefits to GUI toolkits where, again, Python
programmers have been faced with event driven programming. So using this
PEP, GUI toolkits could hide this event driven programming from the Python
programmer, making GUI programming much easier. For example, you would no
longer have to use a modal dialog just to make the programming easier.
The C-level Deferreds and Reactor are not made visible to the Python
programmer (as they are in Twisted).
Rather, what is visible is a very simple micro-thread that allows for
"start_and_forg et" threads, "parallel" threads (where you're only
interested in the final return value) and fully cooperative threads
communicating over micro-pipes (which, BTW, gives us a new way to write
generators that allows one generator to simply call another one to have
the second generator's output included with its own output without having
to capture and pass back values).
As there is a great deal of traffic on comp.lang.pytho n, I don't expect to
be able to keep up with the posts here and would prefer to discuss this
on python-ideas...
If there is any interest in this, please let me know! If I don't see any
interest, I'll assume that it's not solving a real problem and will let it
quietly die on the vine...
Thank you for your attention!

Python-ideas is another mailing list at python.org. You can also read
and post via the list-newsgroups gateway news.gmane.org as
gmane.comp.pyth on.ideas. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
After looking up Microsoft's site for licensing info...and found nothing,
I turn to this newsgroup. Does someone know what version of VB .Net you are
entitled to use when you are
a micro business? I think I can't buy a VB .Net standard edition but I'm not
sure about it.
Also if I need to buy VB .Net Enterprise, how many licenses come with this,
one only?

Hello,
I have to write a program for an 8051 micro-controller using micro-C to
monitor Switch 1 and if the switch in pushed the message "switch 1
pushed" should be displayed in the LCD. Also the microcontroller
should display in the LCD the value of the voltage applied to the input
of the ADC.
The above procedure should only execute once the user has entered
"1234" using a keypad that is attached to the 8051 microprocessor.

Hi,
I want to find the current time stamp in micro sec precision.
The requirement is,
my function is executed in an infinite loop.
I measure a value and check if the value computed is what i expected
9forget all this stuff).
I want to print the time stamp every time that event occurs.
So my requirement is printing the current timestamps.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
