[Python-Dev] async __setitem__
Hi everyone, I was really happy to see PEP 492 - that is really a big step forward. It makes many programming constructs possible in combination with asyncio, which have been cumbersome or impossible until now. One thing that still is impossible is to have __setitem__ be used asynchronously. As an example, I am working with a database that I access over the network, and it is easy to write data = await table[key] to get something out of the database. But getting something in, I have to write something like await table.set(key, value) It would be cool if I could just write await table[key] = value which would, I think, fit in nicely with all of PEP 492. That said, I was hesitating which keyword to use, await or async. PEP 492 says something like async is an adjective, await a command. Then for setitem, technically, I would need an adverb, so "asyncly table[key] = value". But I didn't want to introduce yet another keyword (two different ones for the same thing are already confusing enough), so I arbitrarily chose await. If we are really going for it (I don't see the use case yet, I just mention it for completeness), we could also be extend this to other points where variables are set, e.g. "for await i in something():" which is a bit similar to "async for i in something()" yet different.

[Python-Dev] PEP 0420: Extent of implementation? Specifically Python 2?
Greetings, Will this PEP be implemented in Python 2? And, more generally, is there a way to know the extent of implementation of any particular PEP?

PEP 420 (namespace packages) will not be implemented in Python 2. I don't think there's any general way of knowing, short of reading the documentation of the specific features. In this case, namespace packages are documented in 3.x, but not 2.x.
