[Python-Dev] Python Language Summit at PyCon: Agenda (original) (raw)

Sun Mar 3 02:29:40 CET 2013

Hmm, seems like this might be a good forum to introduce the
parallel/async stuff I've been working on the past few months.
TL;DR version is I've come up with an alternative approach for
exploiting multiple cores that doesn't rely on GIL-removal or
STM (and has a negligible performance overhead when executing
single-threaded code).  (For those that are curious, it lives
in the px branch of the sandbox/trent repo on hg.p.o, albeit
in a very experimental/prototype/proof-of-concept state (i.e.
it's an unorganized, undocumented, uncommented hackfest); on
the plus side, it works.  Sort of.)

Second suggestion: perhaps a little segment on Snakebite?  What
it is, what's available to committers, feedback/kvetching from
those who have already used it, etc.

(I forgot the format of these summits -- is there a projector?)

    Trent.
