I agree. I was going to make the point earlier in the thread that using "await" can mostly just be thought of as a delayed function call, but it didn't seem at risk of getting banned until Guido's comment so I didn't say anything (and there were too many comments anyways). I think it's in a different category for that reason. It's much easier to reason about than, say, "yield" and "yield from". --Chris _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
