Bugs and "missing features" in asyncore. For ZEO's purposes, if I had designed it, I expect it would have used threads (without asyncore). However, bits of code still sitting around suggest that it was at least the intent at one time that ZEO be able to run without threads at all. That's certainly not possible now.

What is the reason that people want to use threads when they can have poll/select-style message processing? Why does Zope require threads? IOW, why would anybody want a "threadsafe patch for asynchat"?

Regards, Martin
