I've updated the PEP to include:
- completion callbacks (for interoperability with Twisted Deferreds)
- a pointer to the discussion on stdlig-sig
See: http://svn.python.org/view/peps/trunk/pep-3148.txt?r1=78618&r2=80679
Rejected ideas:
- Having a registration system for executors
Not yet addressed:
- where the package should live (someone in a "concurrent" package
seems fine) - having global executors with unbounded worker counts as a
convenience [1]
[1] There are a few issues with global executors that need to be
thought thought through i.e. when should workers be created and when
should they be terminated. I'd be happy to defer this idea unless
someone is passionate about it (in which case it would be great if
they'd step in with concrete ideas).
