Is there any reason to have Future .cancelled, .done, .running as methods?

From my perspective they are really readonly properties.

BTW, is 'cancelled' correct name? Spell-checkers likes only single 'l' form: 'canceled'.

Also, you can't fix bugs except by releasing new versions of Python. Therefore the API must be completely stable, and the product virtually bugfree before it should be in stdlib. The best way of ensuring that is to release it as a separate module on PyPI, and let it stabilize for a couple of years. Yeah but that model isn't likely to work with this package. Cheers, Brian Forgive my ignorance, but why do you say that that model won't work with this package? As I said in my last message: """Simple modules are unlikely to develop a following because it is too easy to partially replicate their functionality. urlparse and os.path are very useful modules but I doubt that they would have been successful on PyPI."""
