Look forward to trying this. Good to see so much attention being paid to Pythons async architecture.

This is the most compelling reason I've seen to finally drop python2.

async / await is a huge deal. You can use the same interface to manage multiprocessing pools, thread pools and asyncio. With clean RPC&PUB/SUB like in crossbar.io and async http libs like aiohttp, we have a strong base to create a nice next gen framework.

When was Python networking great in the first place? I often felt confused by the inheritance in socketserver, and its derived classes like BaseHTTPRequestHandler.

Well, there are a lot of great frameworks in Python -- gevent, twisted. They existed for many years, are quite fast and solid. Even 10 years ago it was totally possible to solve c10k in Python. Now, with players like Go, it's a bit harder for Python to catch up, but totally possible.

Oh, I think I figured it out. I was confused about "great again". It didn't make sense given that the newer packages you pointed out are better than the old ones in the standard library.

DDG tells me it's probably a reference to US conservative viewpoints. Flew right over me, sorry.

The reported numbers look great. Good job!

Right, I wanted a provocative title ;)

Thanks!
