The run_in_executor call is not callback-based -- the confusion probably
stems from the name of the function argument ('callback'). It actually
returns a Future representing the result (or error) of an operation, where
the operation is represented by the function argument. So if you have e.g.
a function
def factorial(n):
return 1 if n <= 0 else n*factorial(n-1)
you can run it in an executor from your async(io) code like this:
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
result = yield from loop.run_in_executor(factorial, 100)
(In a PEP 492 coroutine substitute await for yield from.)
